How do Yancey and Taczak each define reflection? How does Yancey build on others’ scholarship to define reflection?
Taczak describes reflection as, “a mode of inquiry: a deliberate way of systematically recalling writing experiences,” where as, Yancey describes reflection as he processes by which we know what we have accomplished and by which we articulate accomplishment and...the products of the processes.” Yancey used other author’s such as Harris to help define the term reflection to the reader.
According to both Yancey and Taczak, what does reflection enable writers to do?
Reflection allows writers to look back on past work and REFLECT on what they have written, what they did well and what they can do to make it better. Reflection allows author’s to better their writing through looking back over their writing.
How might we understand reflection in connection with each of the key terms we have discussed so far—genre, audience, purpose, and discourse community?
Reflection could allow the reader to go back and ensure that the writing is focused on the correct ideas and that they are clearly portrayed to the reader. Before writing the author can reflect on what they want to write on what they want to write about, helping create the genre as well as understanding who the audience is. After writing, the author may also reflect on what kind of vocabulary was used to determine what kind of discourse community it is a part of.
Finally, please compose (as opposed to merely finding) a visual that you believe will help us to better understand reflection. This can be an image, a chart, a gif, video, etc. that you have created. Write a few sentences about what you hope readers will understand about reflection by looking at your visual.
I hope to make a brochure about accounting, to summarize the profession to potential future accountants. This type of brochure will be displayed at job fairs as a way to attract people to the profession. I plan on exaggerating what accountants do to make the job sound more appealing.
