Here's more information on your first assigned writing task in Thinking Like a Writer. It builds on the ideas you just created by asking you to reflect on the ways you learned the skills you recorded in your timelines. To put it simply, the first writing task for this course asks you to consider two different types of learning experiences that you’ve had, and then reflect on the connections between those experiences.
