Okay, so you have done a lot of the initial work for getting started on your ELD in Learning Module 9 and Learning Module 10! So, let’s come up with a rough outline that gets you started on reflecting about your learning throughout the semester.
Go back to what you have written in LM9 and LM10 and comment below with a possible outline for how your ELD might be organized. Review the prompt, especially this part:
- What I hoped to learn/do (What were my expectations, what were my original plans, what skills did I hope to develop?)
- What I did (What I wrote/made, what steps I took to complete the tasks, what went very right, what went very wrong?)
- What I learned (What I’d do differently next time, what I can’t wait to do again, what I’ll never do again, what feedback was particularly useful?)
- Goals for my writing (What skills I want to develop; what habits I want to keep, change, or adopt; what information I need to learn; what types of writing I want to try; AND THE MEANS by which I will attempt to realize these goals. In other words what is my plan—i.e., goals + means to realize those goals—for my continuing writing? You can think here about goals in terms of next semester, writing in your major, writing in your personal life that you want to do, and writing in your potential career path)
Also consider other requirements, like having at least 3 direct quotes from your writing and spending at least 1 paragraph on writing from another classmate.
No obligation to use all or even any of what you have written so far in LM9 and 10! But, I hope there was something gained there to help get you started on writing a great ELD.
In a comment below, give me a rough outline of what you think you might talk about in each of the four main sections of the ELD as shown above.
