You spent hours and hours grading those essays. Meticulous comments. Feedback, feedback, feedback.
 
Do your students actually use all that information?
 
I've found that if you do not require students to complete reflections on their essay feedback, they often don't pay full attention to all of your hard pressed comments, and all of those hours are wasted--meaning students do not use their graded work to improve on their future work.
 
The essay reflections here require students to read your feedback and list what they need to improve in their work.
 
Includes SEVEN Reflections:
-Three Explanatory Essay Reflections, including diagnostic and midterm
-Argumentative Essay Reflection
-General Student Self-Assessment
-Development of Ideas Reflection
-Research Comfort Ability Self-Assessment
 
Engage students in metacognition reflection, help them become more independent thinkers, and encourage students to evaluate their own future writing.
