Self Evaluation Essay
- List some topics about yourself using the chart at left to give you ideas.
START WRITING...
Freewrite in a variety of prewriting activities (
outlining, brainstorming
with the "blimp") to warm-up for the essay.
Organize your paper now.
Will you making this more of a process approach, describing the path(s)
you have taken in your life? Or will you make this more of an array of
points showing a comparison, such as "then" and "now" (and possibly
"future")? Will you separate your self from things about your situation
and make separate lists?
Revise your own draft, although we may not have time for feedback.
Act as your own reader this time. Becoming your own imagined audience
for this paper. Ifyou were making a decision based upon someone's
presentation of self, what would you think important to see in the text?
Self-reflection is a key quality to develop. It is the ability to see
ourselves through the eyes of others. We may never be able to see
completely as others see us, but being able to recognize how we present
ourselves in society is a formidable skill. In self-reflection, we can begin
to see why some things we try never seem to work.
We begin to see causes and effects of the types of behaviors that we
try or simply fall into. We also begin to be able to distinguish between
what can be changed and what is simply there and cannot be worked on.
