Post Script Questions:

This is informal writing, but it must be submitted with your essay.

  1. Explain at least three ways that you served your audience. Be specific. For example, don’t say that you “used appropriate language”; instead, discuss specific language choices that you made.
  2. What “sources” (formal or informal) did you consult to go beyond your own experience and opinion and to understand possible reader objections? What impact did these “sources” have on your opinions and essay?
  3. What’s your argument/thesis (just in case it’s not clear)?
  4. Discuss what you learned from this essay: about writing, argument, yourself as a writer, etc.
  5. What process steps would you use for another assignment? For what types of assignment, and why? What would you rethink, and why?
  6. What do you like best about your essay?
  7. What concerns do you have about your essay? What do you want me to pay special attention to or comment on?
  8. Anything else?
