1. English In Unit II, we discussed that there is a process to writing but that there is no one, specific, start-to-finish process. Instead, the process is cyclical. Additionally, you learned that it is important to understand yourself as a writer and that you have your own process. In Unit III, you wrote your first paper for this class and should now have a better idea of your own writing process.

The objective of this reflection is to become better acquainted with the process that you go through when writing. Your journal entry must be at least 300 words in length and should be in formal, academic tone.
