I have tried things like the self-assessment you describe--in its tiniest version, I have them, at the start of the class where a paper is due, underline their favorite and least favorite sentences in their essays, then explain *why* they have that feeling about each sentence. It gives me a chance to reinforce their good feelings about what's working as well as see how well they understand what isn't as effective. I also let them rewrite the least favorite sentence if they want, with the idea that this might help them see revision as a detail-level enterprise (and sometimes even make a notable difference in the essay). Even on this mini-level, self-assessment can be revealing to me and to the students. Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00274105494401807160noreply@blogger.com
