final reflection essay

Rather than a final project or formal exam, I am asking that each of you publish one last post on your blog for the semester in which you reflect on what you've learned in this course. 

REMINDER: your learning includes what we studied together, but it also includes what you have experienced throughout the semester, whether that has to do with a class, or learning from home, or (?).

Here is a suggested title and an outline for you to follow. As always, you are free to build on this and include anything else you think is important.  I look forward to reading your thoughts.

(Title: FINAL REFLECTION FOR AMERICAN LITERATURE 2020-2021)

Suggested opening sentence: "This semester was unlike any other..."

1. From the beginning, what made our course different than any other course you have ever taken?
2. As you look back on our experience together, what did you find most meaningful?
3. As you consider the work you've done, what are you most proud of?
4. Is there anything you wish you would have done differently, or better?
5. As you look forward, what did you learn in this course that will help you for the future?
6. There is one English-y requirement. In your essay, please mention three texts that you've read this semester AND three literary techniques that made those texts effective - if you need some suggestions, consult the list of what we've covered on our Terms page).

PLEASE NOTE: 

Due to the end-of-semester time crunch, this is due to be published on your blog no later than Friday, December 11 at 5:00 P.M.
