Working on arrangement * Transitions

By doing the transition activity I perceived that were a few paragraphs that needed to be reviewed. By adding those transition words,  I feel that my sentences have a better flow when reading it and the ideas seem more connected.

Reflecting on my own reflection

What got stuck is that a writer  reviews the lessons from the past, past experiences, material they had encountered, and make conclusions, or relate to their current personal life based on what they learned. I think that my reflection address that. Also, I agree with Leah's take on how the writer has learned something  "when you can see the progression of the argument and information." 

I still need to revise the end part of my reflection, and put some more thought to it. I think that I've made connections with what I've learned and my personal experiences, and i think that it reflects on my learning.

Reflecting on Reflective Writing in our Class

Peter and Evan

An indication that a writer is thinking can be perceived throughout a acknowledgment of a counter argument; a moment in which a writer goes back in time to remember and reflect on something that has happened in the past; or when there is a clear engagement with utilized sources like discussion, argumentation, back-and-forth, etc.

The writing feels honest when a writer is direct to the point in their writing, speaks in an organized way that is considerate of the reader, gives personal significance or examples that shows the writer’s attachment to the subject(s), rather than completely shutting out the opposing arguments.

It seems that a writer has honestly and thoughtfully engaged with other texts, when he/she is aware that their audience might share the counter argument’s apprehension or reluctance and finds a way to be considerate of that skepticism.  Rather than selecting one favorable section of a counter argument source, the writer addresses the opposing source as a whole and finds a way to converse with it, explains their own understanding of the sources, how they relate to their writing, and how to express that to the reader(s).

As mentioned before, a writer who is open to the opposing view might show the reader that they took something of value from those sources. And by reviewing the lessons from the past, past experiences, material they had encountered, and make conclusions, or relate to their current personal life based on what they learned

 writer might describing learning.
