The influence of your social relations

Have the relations you have established with your classmates benefited you to become a better writer? and how do you think the relations you have established with your classmates have benefited you to become a better writer?

Your feelings about ESL writing

You have had different opportunities to write several short essays during this semester. How do you feel about writing in English at this point of your learning process? What are your strengths as an ESL writer? What aspects of ESL writing do you think you need to improve?

Facing your Writing Assignments as Problems to Solve

When you face a writing assignment, you probably think of doing your best. Thus, what do you do when you get a prompt to write an essay? How about when you have to respond to a question based on a reading you have done? How do you guarantee that your answer will properly address the question or prompt? Write your thoughts and ideas including details and examples to support your response.

Peer-Reviewing Experience

Last week, you had the chance to peer-review the essay of one of your classmates. That was probably the first time you had the chance to read, comment, and revise the work of a person with whom you normally share the academic life. Assess this peer-review activity, providing arguments and examples to support your reflections. Your response should certainly address the following questions (but not limited to them): a) How difficult was it for you to critique your classmate’s paper? b) What did you learn from the process you followed to review the paper? c) What did you learn from your classmate’s revision of your own paper?
