05070 Literary Analysis and Reflective Writing 文学阅读与分析写作 Grade 5 (New Books)
Instructor: Dr. Katharine Sprecher
In 13 lessons, Katharine will lead students to read several books, analyze, and write reflective essays.
Dr, Sprecher selected the following books, and will lead students to read, analyze, and write analytical essays
(1) Room to Dream by Kelly Yang
(2) Efren Divided by Ernesto Cisneros

(4) Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed
Reflective Writing builds on analysis by considering the learning you’ve gained from practical experience. The purpose of the reflection is to help you to make improvements for the future and, as such, it is a more ‘personal’ form of academic writing often using the first person. Evidence still has a key role in reflective writing; it’s not just about retelling your story and how you felt. And evidence in the case of reflection will include your own personal experience which adds to the discussion. Reflective writing focuses on future improvements and answers questions like ‘what next?’
