Subject
An essay
about your writing.
Occasion
An assigned essay and an
opportunity for self-analysis regarding writing.
Task
Write an essay that analyzes
your writing process and related writing practices to
discover what confounds or contributes to being a skilled
writer. Support your thesis with an analysis of your own writing process and
practice.
Purpose
• to
understand writing processes and practices
• to
actively think about and reflect on your own writing process and practice
• to
practice analysis and synthesis of primary and secondary sources
Format
MLA 3-5 pages
Process:
While
you draft your literacy narrative essay, you will conduct a think-aloud
protocol and should record your thoughts as you draft. After recording
your think-aloud protocol, you must transcribe it. During class we will
investigate different ways to code the transcript and make sense of your
think-aloud protocol.
The think-aloud protocol will serve as the primary evidence for your process essay, but you must also analyze and make assessments about your writing process and practice based on what we have looked at so far: pitfalls of unskilled writers, rules and practices, confused and impenetrable language, awareness of the rhetorical situation, and drafting and revision practices. How familiar are you with writing into some rhetorical situation? What parts are you unfamiliar with? Consider and describe your writing behaviors in the order they occur. Look for patterns in your think aloud protocal, useful strategies, “blockers,” and inconsistencies in your own process and practice. Are there differences in how you approach self-sponsored and assigned writing tasks? What rules or practices do you seem to take for granted? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your writing practice? Why do you enjoy, despise, or tolerate writing based on any of the above? Write an essay that takes into account these questions regarding your writing, quoting from at least two of the sources we’ve looked at thus far. Include a Works Cited page formatted according to MLA style
