Workshop for reflective essay:
You spent about half an hour reviewing the criteria for the reflective essay and then workshopping your pieces in light of what you have written - and what you still need to write.
Criteria for the essay are:
- Development of a series of nontrivial observations about your subject material, craft, audience, ethics, and writing process.
- Use of detailed, specific examples from your writing and from your writing activities as a basis for supporting those observations.
- . Artful use of strategies and practices associated with creative nonfiction.
- Writing that is focused, organized, adequately developed, and relatively free from surface errors.
