    Reflection Essay #1

    I've concluded after writing my genre analysis that this essay is helping me in classes

    both now and in the future. Because of this essay, I can now correctly focus a paper on its

    primary goal and maintain a central thesis; However, I don't think writing a genre analysis is

    something this paper would apply to in other classes. I assume I won’t be enrolled in any

    additional classes that require this kind of essay.

    Analyzing a community has helped me improve by being able to resonate with my

    audience, and by seeing what topics are of interest. For example, writing on a major subject to

    my community gives me the ability to be a better communicator with a connection to my

    audience.

    I would say my writing strengths in this essay were giving examples, providing evidence,

    and elaborating on them to support the structure of my essay. The biggest weaknesses were in my

    first draft…Being able to focus on the analysis, the purpose of the essay, and the central idea

    were the aspects I was having trouble with.

    While going through the process from first to final draft, I learned many things about the

    rules of writing and myself. Peer review feedback was a big thing. According to both peers, I was

    able to get points across clearly to my audience. Something I learned about myself from my

    essay is how I can adapt to feedback and adjust to writing a better paper.

    My understanding of genre, community, and participation is being able to navigate a

    genre while still being able to give expectations of the genre to my audience. Being able to

    emotionally connect with my audience while staying within my thesis structure is a great

    example.

    At first, the most challenging aspect of this essay was understanding the purpose and

    guidelines of the essay. For example, the first draft I wrote didn’t follow the guidelines of the

    essay causing me to rewrite the whole paper. The least challenging aspect was finding an article

    to write about. After reading about choosing a local organization, I automatically thought of what

    to write about.

    My identity changed this essay in the aspect of becoming a better writer. With the

    feedback from peers and the professor after the first draft, I've come to understand the purpose of

    a genre analysis.
