Reflective essay #1  (2.5% of you final grade) due Sep. 3rd, Tuesday, 11:59PM

In class, we discussed potential ways to achieve a more positive writing experience. Common writing pitfalls and bad habits were addressed. In addition, we briefly covered the various steps taken in the writing process and discussed how these steps can improve our overall writing quality.

Write a reflective essay based on the questions below:

• What was the most positive writing experience in your academic (school) life,
  either in your own language or in English, or both? Please be specific.
• What kinds of events or actions led you to experience positive writing?
  If you received any help, who helped you and how?
• What process did you go through?
  Please elaborate on each steps by describing what you actually did and why you did.

Name your paper as "Reflection1_Your First Name" and upload it in the Google Drive folder you shared with me. The length of the paper should be approximately 300-500 words, double spaced.

Note: If you have never had any positive writing experience before, you may answer the same questions above based on a bad writing experience.
