Reflection:

In this essay or letter, Reflect on your progress towards the goals.

Observe the standard format:

• For essays -introductory paragraph with a thesis, thoroughly developed body paragraphs with topic sentences, and a conclusion paragraph.
• For letters - block or modified block form (as discussed with the intro letter at the beginning of the semester)

The following steps may be helpful to you:
• Collect ideas-Brainstorm, free write.

You'll want to review your other work, especially the introduction letter, the goals memo, and the midterm progress report. Review the chapter titles of the chapters you've read this semester. Try writing quick notes about issues and examples regarding any or all of the following:
o How does your understanding of cultures relate to your understanding of audience?
o Have your listening, writing, and speaking skills improved?
o What parts of this class do you see as relevant to your future in college and/or career?
o Refer to the starred assignments and explain why you're proud of them.
o Do you have better strategies for . . . problem-solving? Writing process? Steps of problem - solving in groups? Conflict resolution?
o Have you made connections between this class and other classes-and/or connections between this class and your sense of self as a learner?
o Other concepts, accomplishments, or unfulfilled goals?

• Make decisions about your MAP (message, audience, purpose) before you begin writing.

• Organize -- Arrange ideas to support your thesis. Remember that the thesis shouldn't spell out all of your main points. (Note: Your instructor may ask you to include one topic common to all students in the class.)

• Draft -- Review Writing Matters and your papers from the semester. Develop a paper that demonstrates your understanding of critical thinking, style, audience, specific detail, etc.

• Revise and proofread. Add a title (not the name of the assignment).

Final Speaking Activity
The topic may be related to something that's happened during this semester-a discovery you've made, a loss you've felt--or a resolution you're making for next semester.

Alternatively, the speaking activity might involve a ceremonial speech. In any case, this speech will be impromptu or will involve minimal preparation.
