The text Yancey wrote defines reflection as ” the dialectical process by which we develop and achieve specific goals for learning, strategies for reaching those goals, and means of determining weather or not we have met those goals or other goals. The website I used defines reflection as”. The website I chose defined reflection as ” A reflection paper is an analytical piece of academic writing, which includes student’s thoughts about something like a motion picture, book, event, person, etc.”
The word “reflection” can be used in different ways and it could mean different things. Such as, in math class reflection means something bit different than what it means in an English class. According to Yancey, “reflection allows writers to articulate the learning that has taken place, to set goals and to revise the writing”. I completely agree with the way Yancey defined the term reflection.
I think it’s also an important thing to learn because if you actually take your time to reflect back to all of you’re work, you will see the progress to your writing and you will also see how you have evolved your writing over time. You start seeing your mistakes and it will also help you better understand there are multiples ways to construct same sentences or to crop down a long sentence in one small and better one.
