Your Writing Habits, Reading Habits, and Thoughts About Interviewing    Before you begin the Profile Essay project, take time to reflect honestly on yourself as a writer, a reader, and a growing interviewer. This reflection will help you understand where you are right now and what you may need as you prepare to talk to someone and tell their story. In one well-developed paragraph, respond to the following prompts in a natural way (you do NOT need to list the questions): 1. Your Writing Habits How do you usually approach writing? Do you procrastinate, outline first, jump into a draft, revise a lot, or avoid revising? What physical space do you write in most often, and how does that environment affect your writing? 2. Your Reading Habits How do you read for class? Do you annotate, skim, re-read, highlight, or find reading difficult when distracted? Describe a real example of how you read for a recent assignment. 3. Your Thoughts About Interviewing Now that you know you’ll be interviewing someone, how are you feeling? Are you nervous, excited, hesitant, confident? Explain why. What part worries you most—starting the conversation, asking follow-up questions, staying assertive, or listening deeply? 4. Your Assertiveness Think about your comfort level when asking people for information or asking them to expand on something. Do you find it easy to be assertive, or does it feel uncomfortable? Describe a real moment from your life that shows your communication style.
