Yvette, Sonja, Michele, and Cynthia's Reflections on Reflection
We like most of these reflective methods, but when combined with which one also fits our various pedagogies, we'd likely choose The Post-Essay Reflection. We're impressed by the variety of ways it can be used from indivual essay reflections to the final portfolio reflection.
This particular prompt that focuses on research and source use captures a specificity that is useful for students so that they can focus on particular goals of an assignment or of the course or a unit. This increases the likelihood of the transferability of skills.
The genre of post-essay reflection lends itself to brief informal texts such as blog posts as well as more formal texts such as essays-on-essays (otherwise known as the meta-essay). This flexibility provides for ease of scaffolding and can be combined, including for more robust end-of-term reflections that represent more complex ideas.
