Reflecting on Reflection


As you read, Yancey believes that “reflection” allows students to become agents of their own learning. Other theorists view reflection as a means of looking back so that we can understand how to move forward. After reading Yancey's theory of reflection, I want you to reflect on reflection. Using specific evidence from the reading to respond to the following questions:

*What is Yancey's theory of reflection? How does she connect it to composition? 
***Note: she defines reflection in several different ways, so I'm not looking for everyone to use the exact same definition. Use the one that stuck out to you or that you were drawn to. 
*Make your own connections between reflection and writing--where does reflection fit into the writing process? To your writing process?
*Why is reflection "important" to you as a writer, a thinker, and a knowledge-maker?
