That's a great description of the power and purpose of metacognition. A few days ago I watched a very interesting panel discussion on YouTube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrcq3dzt0Uk" rel="nofollow"> "50 Years of Writing Research: What Have We Learned?"</a> One of the few points of agreement was on the importance of "engaged problem solving"--that we learn by doing but not unless we also reflect on what we've done. One of my attempts to encourage this is a portfolio assignment at the end of the semester, in which students include a reflective "writer's statement" for each item they include. I also use peer review groups a lot, in the hope that explaining strengths and weaknesses in other students' writing helps a student to understand her own writing better. But, like you, I don't write nearly as much as I'd like to, except for all the comments on student papers, few of which are ever going to be short-listed for the Booker Prize.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335145674065415998noreply@blogger.com
