How to Write a Reflection

Writing a reflection is multifaceted.

The writer needs to do so much before writing, and in the moment of the writing (and editing), the author must stay on track to his/her focus while giving plenty of detail for the reader to FEEL the message.  It’s as much about thinking and thinking about thinking as it is to feeling.

Reflection is a combination of cognition, emotion, and body sensations.  Here is an approach to help you reflect well.  Not only will you learn the information, but the process of reflection actually boosts the brain’s ability to make decisions.

Special Note:  One of your Mobius components is a self-reflection.  I am expecting excellence in your thinking to your thinking and therefore your posting.

1.  Using a quiet mind and a quiet environment, be quiet and listen to your thoughts.  Reflection is quiet.

2. Step One is Critical Thinking: Ask questions like…

· What did I learn that I expected?  What did I learn that I didn’t expect?

·

How am I changed?

· What will I do with this information?

· How will I influence others with this information?

3. Step Two:  Examine your own thinking.  How was I thinking that?  What was I thinking?  Why?  What were my biases, assumptions, etc?

4.  Step Four (We skip gathering information.): After confidence to your learning based on the content covered, decide a writing core – a focus.

5. Write in first person.  Write with depth – no surface only comments.  Write with specificity.  What exactly did you learn and what will you do with that new you?
