EVERY lesson has a reflection in the last 5 minutes. WHAT - SO WHAT - NOW WHAT?

Reflective Techniques

What, (did I write about)?

So what (does this actually mean for me, and why did I choose the techniques I did)?

Now what (can I do that I couldn't before, that I appreciate in this process?)

Did you know? You can use Poetic and Literary Techniques in Reflective Writing?

Such as...

Personification: Give human qualities to inanimate objects or abstract concepts to express your feelings or experiences more poetically.

Flashbacks and Foreshadowing: Use these techniques to navigate between past, present, and future, which can help in illustrating how past experiences influence your current perspective.

Anecdotes: Include short, personal stories or vignettes. This can make your reflections more relatable and engaging.

Juxtaposition: Place contrasting ideas or descriptions side by side. This can highlight internal conflicts or the multifaceted nature of your experiences.

Dialogue: Create imagined conversations with yourself, others, or even abstract concepts. This can be a powerful way to externalise inner thoughts and explore different viewpoints.
