This unit’s discussion is designed to help you maintain metacognition about your writing. “Metacognition” is a term that means “thinking about your thinking.” Maintaining metacognitive awareness of your writing process will help you apply what you learn in this class to future writing. After all, just following orders or working through pre-ordained steps is the opposite of thinking critically!
