Journal 5

How do Yancey and Taczak each define reflection? How does Yancey build on others’ scholarship to define reflection? According to both Yancey and Taczak, what does reflection enable writers to do? How might we understand reflection in connection with each of the key terms we have discussed so far—genre, audience, purpose, and discourse community? 


      Yancey defines reflection as "the processes by which we know what we have accomplished and by which we articulate accomplishment and...the products of the processes" (Yancey p. 6) Taczak defines reflection as "a mode of inquiry: a deliberate way of systematically recalling writing experiences to reframe the current writing situation" (Taczak p. 78) Both Yancey and Taczak agree that reflection enables writers to improve their process and work overall. Genre, audience, purpose, and discourse community all relate to reflection because they are all things a writer should take into consideration during their process.  

Finally, please compose (as opposed to merely findinga 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 readers will understand that reflection is a process that is focused on the author looking back at their previous thoughts or experiences; by looking back and reflecting an author may find new ideas or better edit their current/future work.
