Expressive/Reflective Writing Writing 421A Blocks 1,2 & 4

Expressive & Reflective Writing Expressive Writing: A piece of writing where you recall an event from your own experiences. Reflective Writing: A piece of writing where you consider how that event has influenced you.

Expressive/Reflective The best writing comes when a writer combines both expressive and reflective writing. For example: When the students expresses his/her thoughts on his/her family member’s death AND transitions (moves into) what this experience has taught her.

For Example: Expressive Writing: Reflective Writing: A student writes about her feelings following the death of a family member. Reflective Writing: A student writes what she has learned from having to go through her family member’s death.

Good Reflective Writing: Good reflective writing moves beyond recounting (remembering and telling about) the past; it brings new insight to the writer. The next page will show some differences between reflective and expressive writing:

Expressive vs. Reflective: This Time, It’s Personal Expressive writing Reflective writing First and foremost, expressive writing is personal writing. The writer shares thoughts, ideas, feelings, and questions about his or her experiences. Usually written in the first person point of view (“I”), it exhibits the author’s voice. The author tells the reader how he or she feels. Though also personal, reflective writing often moves beyond recounting an experience and into an exploration of how that particular experience has shaped (affected) the writer. The goal of reflective writing is not to share final thoughts on a topic; on the contrary, it is a way to explore and discover new thoughts. In reflective writing, the author often looks at the past as a way to look at the future.
