Assignment – Self Assessment of Quote/Evidence Analysis Find and review your Writing Reflection graphic organizer. If you haven’t already, FINISH (I will be looking at them next Monday). Read over the document thoroughly, and take from it what you need to complete today’s work. Set TWO to THREE goals for yourself to grow in the areas of Organization, Voice, and Substantiation of Evidence (particularly relating to how you will analyze a quote or evidence in your senior research essay). Prove that these goals are valid by explaining your reasons for choosing them, providing examples, etc. **We will come back to these same goals during our individual writing conferences in March. You have until the end of the period, so be thorough.
