This chapter is a short reflection, and I'm not sure how to reflect on Jago's reflection, so I think I'll comment on the book in general.
I liked this book, and I feel like it worked well paired with Christensen's book. Christensen's book puts a personal face on a lot of the things Jago writes about in a more objective manner. Jago's four objectives make a lot of sense to me, and I'll definitely be remember them while I'm teaching. The importance of revision and positive feedback are important factors in making students into writers. One of the greatest thing that can stem from achieving these objects is that students won't just feel comfortable about writing, some students will have fun writing. Enjoying writers and writing, and what it takes to be a writer, is one of the greatest things about English literature and the study of it.
