Learning Objective #1: Examine how attitudes toward linguistic standards empower and oppress language users.
My paraphrase: See how peoples feelings towards standard language affects users of that language
Evidence of learning: I was really touched by the Amy Tan we did at the start of the year I think about it daily. I examine my own attitude towards linguistic standards now and I think that’s great. I feel similarly about the girl who spoke three dialects I really liked that.
My score 0-5: 4

Learning Objective #2: Explore and analyze, in writing and reading, a variety of genres and rhetorical situations.
My paraphrase: Read and learn about a lot of different types of writing.
Evidence of learning: We definitely explored and analyzed a lot but only a specific type really got through to me, I liked all the narratives but once it got to slam poetry and stuff I fell off..

Learning Objective #3: Develop strategies for reading, drafting, collaborating, revising, and editing.
My paraphrase: Plan out your essays and write better
Evidence of learning: I started making drafts and editing this semester, I never edit ever. I really really liked the instructor meetings too it’s really nice to hear my weak points since I’m so blind to them. Very constructive I really felt like this worked for me. It’s a 4 and not a 5 because nobodys perfect and I still have ways to go with planning, but revising and editing stuck with me.
My score 0-5: 4

Learning Objective #4: Recognize and practice key rhetorical terms and strategies when engaged in writing situations.
My paraphrase: Learn writing strategies to write better stuff
Evidence of learning: I think the only things I got from that was to stop abusing really and very, my favorite adverbs. And to do the two sentence summary thing. Those are very important and ik u taught us more but those are the ones that stuck with me.
