REVISION AND REFLECTION MODULE

HSWA: Final Reflection Post

500-750 Word Post on WordPress
Due: Wednesday May 10th by 11:59PM on your revised WordPress site

Objectives:
1. To reflect on your WordPress website and your ability to communicate the ideas you
researched in various media formats.
2. To connect the work we did with the Student Learning Objectives associated with this
class.
3. To analyze your revision process and explain the revision choices you made.

Description:
This is your final assignment for the semester. We will spend the next two weeks doing
intensive revision on your website. You will incorporate my suggestions from your feedback
rubrics, the suggestions from our in class intensive peer review, as well as suggestions from
our textbook into a final revision of your website. You will consider not only the writing and
webtext, but the design of your website, your videos and podcasts, and, if you choose to do
one, whatever extra project you did for an A. Every project we have done this semester has
been a first draft, now you have the time and space in our final module to do the intense
intellectual work of revision. At the end of the revision process, you will discuss the changes
you have made in a final reflective post.

Assignment: Final Reflective Post:

This is your last post of the semester! It is your final note to me and your peers. This post
allows you to discuss your revision in detail and well as some space to reflect on your
discoveries this semester. You engaged in intensive research. You communicated your
research in multiple projects in many media forms. Our final approach gives you the
opportunity to consider what everything meant and to think about what you have learned.

Here are some questions for you to answer in your post:

1. What specific changes and revision did you make in the final two weeks of the
semester? Why did you choose to make those changes?
2. How did your website change over time? How is it different now than it was at the start
of the semester?
3. How did you change the design of your website? What design decisions did you make?
Why do you want your website to look the way it does? Explain your visual choices.
4. How did my feedback and feedback from your peers influence your revision process?
 5. Which project did you enjoy the most this semester? Which did you dislike?
6. How have the different projects changed the way you do research? What do you think
about your sources? How did this work change your ideas about research and
sources?
7. Did you enjoy your research project? Did you enjoy creating WordPress pages? Would
you have rather written an 8-10 page essay? Why or why not?
8. How do you feel about yourself going forward? This is the end of your composition
series in college- do you feel ready to move on into more classes for your major?
9. How are you a different person today than you were when we started? How has your
project changed the way you see yourself in the world?
10. What was your biggest challenge this semester? How did you get past it?
11. Evaluate your effort and enthusiasm- did you do the best work you could?
12. What are you proud of? Why?

For students working on an A project:

Your final reflection must include a section that discusses how your A project integrates into
your overall WordPress site. You also need to illustrate how your final project accomplishes
itself. You need to address:
1. How does this extra work engage with your research? What does it add to your work?
2. Why did you decide to do an A project?
3. What did you learn in completing your A project? Be specific.
4. Which of the following criteria do you feel you were able to meet in your entire
WordPress website?
