I believe that it is fairly easy to reflect, organize your thoughts and insights, combine them with what we have learned in class, and write a good essay. Here are some steps to get you started.
1.Get a cup of coffee or tea, or a glass of juice. Go to a place where you are alone with your notes and the guide questions, together with a scratch paper.
2.For 10-15 minutes, think about the questions and the lessons in class. Answer the guide questions first, and add your personal insights.
3.Organize the thoughts into a logical flow. Provide supporting statements for your big ideas. Back them up with lessons learned inside and outside the classroom, together with personal experience.
4.Convert it into an essay. Do not forget to provide a good introduction and conclusion.
5.Check your essay and look for inconsistencies or errors in thought, as well as grammatical errors. Be sure to finalize. Do not be afraid to delete and replace ideas if they do not fit, or add ideas which may enrich and deepen your understanding. Just make sure that they express only ONE MAIN IDEA supported by minor ideas.
6.Write your name, section, and teacher after the last line of the essay.
Have fun in writing your reflection papers! Your grade reflects how hard you have worked (and enjoyed) with them.
