As you begin your mid-course reflection, reflect on all the thinking and writing you have done
throughout the process of composing your first multimodal project. Review your invention work,
the peer reviews you completed, and the feedback you received. Then, review your Pre-Course
Reflection as well as the WPA Outcomes and the Habits of Mind. This reflection should have four
sections.
WPA Outcomes Section. Consider how your understanding of the WPA Outcomes has changed
after completing your first multimodal project.
For each of the four WPA Outcomes sections, identify at least one specific bullet point that
helped you successfully complete your first multimodal project (four bullet points total). Explain in
detail how each of these contributed to your success on Project 1. Provide specific examples from your Project 1 work that support the claims you make. Were any of these outcomes the
ones you identified as needing to strengthen in your Pre-Course Reflection? If so, explain how
the process of composing Project 1 helped strengthen these outcomes?
For each of the four WPA Outcomes sections, identify at least one specific bullet point that
challenged you during the composition of your first multimodal project (four bullet points total).
Explain in detail why each of these were difficult for you in Project 1 and how working on them
strengthened your skills. Provide specific examples from your Project 1 work that support the
claims you make.
Habits of Mind (HoM) Section. Consider how the eight Habits of Mind (Curiosity, Creativity,
Engagement, Flexibility, Metacognition, Openness, Persistence, and Responsibility) impacted
your Project 1 process.
Explain which 2-3 HoM most contributed to your Project 1 success. Make clear claims about your
learning and provide specific examples from your Project 1 work that support each claim you
make. Were any of these HoM the ones you identified as needing to strengthen in your PreCourse Reflection? If so, how has the process of composing Project 1 helped strengthen these
HoM? Again, provide examples.
Explain which 2-3 HoM challenged you the most during the Project 1 process. Make clear claims
about your learning and provide specific examples from your Project 1 work that support each
claim you make.
Evidence: Examples of specific evidence from Project 1 might come from any of the following:
excerpts from your rough or revised drafts of projects
excerpts from your invention and revision assignments and discussion board posts
excerpts from your portfolio’s content
feedback from your instructor, writing mentor, and/or peers
Transfer Section. In this section, consider how you practiced or applied (transferred) your
learning in the WPA Outcomes or HoM to writing or composing you have done in other classes
and/or in your professional, civic, or personal life.
Discuss 1-2 bullet points from any of the WPA Outcomes that you have transferred.
Discuss 2-3 Habits of Mind that you have transferred.
Provide specific examples (pulled directly from your writing and/or composing in other classes or
contexts) that demonstrate how you have used these skills and practices for other writing and
composing. Examples or evidence from other classes or other contexts might come from the
following sources:
written or multimedia work in other courses
written or multimedia work you compose for a professional situation (e.g., emails to supervisors or coworkers, PowerPoint presentations, reports)
written communication with family members, including on social media sites, texts, and emails
writing you do for fun or as a creative outlet
composing you do in your community, for instance, a letter to the editor or a comment on a
political blog.
Theory of Writing Section. In this section, you will continue to discuss your identity as a writer
and develop your own personal theory of how writing impacts and will continue to impact your life
—academically, professionally, socially, etc.—as you progress in your education and advance in
your career.
Discuss how the way you view yourself as a writer has changed since the beginning of class.
Discuss how your feelings about writing have changed. Include specific examples from the
composing you have done to support your claims.
What are your goals for continuing to improve as a rhetorical writer? Explain any other activities,
practices, or skills you think you will need to reach these goals.
** I attached “pre course reflection” file to give you what I wrote from beginning. Also, “Course
Learning Outcomes” file is for information.
