Journal Five: Reflection

For this journal, please read the pdfs labeled “Yancey_On Reflection” and “Taczak_Reflection” in our Google folder. Yancey provides a brief overview of the scholarship and research that has facilitated our current understanding of reflection. She also explicitly defines the term, and writes about three different kinds of reflection. Taczak provides a slightly different definition of reflection and writes about its usefulness for writers. For this journal, please respond to the following:
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?
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.
