I think it's a good idea to incorporate reflections into student writing as often as possible. While the focus of standardized writing is often the analysis of literary devices in the English classroom, the students should also be given the opportunity to evaluate the texts and relate them to their own experiences. Combining the analysis with reflection gives the students an opportunity to take ownership of the text and be able to realistically critique it.
