Reflection Journal #1 — Introduction Letter Academic Help
I don’t know how to handle this English question and need guidance.
Letter of Introduction
(Aim for 300 words)
This letter has two purposes–for me to get to know a little about you and for me to see your writing. The expression here should be informal in tone, but still show your understanding of writing conventions. (Sentence variety, paragraphing, etc.). Future journal assignments will have a scoring rubric attached, but for this first one, as long as you have addressed the assignment fully, you will get full credit.
Use the questions below to generate content, but don’t simply answer them–integrate the answers into your letter. And feel free and encouraged to add anything else about yourself!
- What do you see as your strengths and weaknesses as a writer?
- What are your past experiences with writing, in and out of your major, and what kinds of comments have teachers made about your written work?
- What goals do you have in mind for yourself in this class? What apprehensions do you have? What challenges do you think you’ll experience? What are you looking forward to?
- Is there anything else you’d like me to know about you, like challenges in your life, or things that might impede your success? For example, are you responsible for the care of others, for example, children, younger siblings, grandparents?
- Can you think of ways I can help you succeed as a writer or a student?
