Self-Assessment Journal #2
Learning how to learn is just as important as what one is learning. Learning to learn, or metacognition, is about becoming aware of one’s strengths and weaknesses as a learner. It is about acting on that awareness to change the way one does things. Once you are aware, you gain control over future learning situations.
Reflection as a form of metacognition or “thinking about “thinking” enables you to evaluate your experience, learn from your mistakes, repeat your successes, revise, and plan. Therefore, you will be practicing this reflective thinking process by self-assessing your own grammar and writing skills – identifying your strengths, and more importantly, your weaknesses that you will need to focus on for improvement.
Post your self-assessment of “readability” issues based on your graded Essay #1. What will you do to improve areas of needed attention? What have you learned that will help you write your next essay assignment?
