Blog Post #8: Reflection Writing

Blog Post DUE Thurs. 12/3 – 4:30 pm

In order to get more practice writing reflectively, I would like every person to write 3-4 paragraphs answering ONE of the questions below:

1. When you think about your past as a reader and writer, what person or set of people have been the biggest influence on your reading and/or writing (positive or negative)? Why?
2. What is the writing assignment you have been most proud of in your entire life? Why?
3. What is the writing assignment you have been least proud of in your entire life? Why?
4. Is there a particular book or other piece of media that has a had a major influence on you as a reader, writer, or person? What was it? Why was it so influential?

Remember that good reflection writing uses a questioning or tentative tone and strong details. Good reflections should not only be informative and entertaining but should leave the reader with something to think about, as well. You shouldn’t necessarily “know” all of your answers when you write a reflection. A reflection is partly a thinking-through process of writing.
