5) Reflection

Here’s the site I used: Site

Yancey define reflection as “the dialectical process by which we develop and achieve, first, specific goals for learning; second, strategies for reaching those goals; and third, means of determining whether or not we have met those goals or other goals.” While the site found defined as “a form of personal response to experiences, situations, events or new information, and a ‘processing’ phase where thinking and learning take place.” Yancey cited other authors that was used to help him give the definition of reflection.

Reflection enable writers to have a very meaningful work of writing, it helps them go beyond with the text. Understanding audience, genre, and rhetorical situations and how they connect together helps to reflect better on how to write. The site and the Yancey have very similar sayings and bring to the same important points.
