write a short reflection that assesses your essay as a whole. There are many aspects of the essay that you should consider in your reflection.

Ideas, Logic, and Flow

Ideas

Go through your ideas in your essay. Do your ideas fit together to help support your thesis? Have you really expressed your own ideas? Have you made sure you aren't simply summarizing your research? Are there ideas that are good but not well developed in your essay? Document your answers to these questions.

Logic

Check the logic of your arguments. Is there logic to your essay and to your arguments? Does it make sense? Would it make sense to someone else? Have you left out any pieces of the chain of logic? Document your answers.

Flow

How does your essay read from beginning to end? Does the order of the essay make sense? Would rearranging any part of the essay improve it? How could you rearrange it? Does the order even matter in your essay? Document your answers.

Expansion

Describe two places in your essay where you think you can expand or add more, even if you don't know how to yet. Make sure to explain why you chose those places.
