Title: Reflective Portfolio: Revisions and Growth as a Writer

Part One, Three Revised Essays 
So, first, select three essays from these four: textual analysis, controversial viewpoints report,  position essay, problem-solution essay.
MY ESSAY TO CHOOSE FROM ARE THE FILES I ATTACHED AND I ALSO PROVIDED THE COMMENTS FROM MY PROFESSOR’S FEEDBACK FOR EACH ESSAY. PLEASE READ THE FEEDBACK AND THE DIRECTIONS PROVIDED BELOW TO START THIS ASSIGNMENT.
Begin by reviewing my notes on your essay and also by determining if you see any possible revisions that you would like to add.  As you begin revising, please keep notes on each essay, using the revision checklist below.  You will need one revision checklist for each essay.  Include:
Revision Checklist
Essay Unit number (1,2,3, or 4)
Essay Title
List of edits that you completed.
For Example:
Sentence structure
Grammar and Mechanics
Thesis
Support
And/or whatever else you edit on the essay
Part Two, Reflection Essay 
Second, compose a Reflection Essay that addresses why you made the edits in each of the three essays.  (Please avoid explaining that I suggested the revisions—we both already know this) Ask yourself how the edits improved your essay, and explain your thoughts on these improvements. Try to have at least one well-developed paragraph on each essay.  
Then, discuss how you have grown as a writer this semester, referring to the essays but also to your own self-reflection.  Consider:
What is the greatest difference between my writing at the beginning of this semester and now?
What is the most important aspect of writing that I learned this semester?
Have I grown more confident or comfortable as a writer?
How will I use my writing skills from this semester in my future classes and career?
And/or whatever else you choose to include in your Reflection.
To Submit:
Use your revision checklist as a Title Page for each of your three revised essays.  As you write and revise, please save your Revised Essays, Checklist Title pages, and Reflection Essay in a SINGLE Word Document titled Portfolio.
