This essay explains to students that reflective writing involves their own thinking. They may be asked to reflect on their audience and the purpose for their piece of writing. They may self-assess or evaluate their writing, learning, and development as young writers. They also help young writers gain insight and control over the composing and revising process of writing. The article gives examples of student reflective writing, explains how they function in student writing. “Reflection helps you to develop your intentions (purpose), figure out your relation to your audience, uncover possible problems with your individual writing processes, set goals for revision, make decisions about language and style, and the list goes on. In a nutshell, it helps you develop more insight into and control over composing and revising processes”. This quote sheds light on a new side of revision and reflection that students will use in the future. |
