Activity

Using a framework to reflect

Think of something you have experienced. This could be trying something for the first time, or a difficult situation you may have found yourself in. Choose a reflective framework and make notes in response to each stage of your chosen model.

Then summarise in one paragraph the key things you learned from the experience and how you will take them forward.

Questions to ask yourself after the exercise:

How did you find the exercise?
Did it help identify some useful areas for reflection?
How useful was the framework? Did it fit your example? If not, could you try a different one?
Did the exercise bring up any areas of reflection that you need to work on further?
Do you feel more confident about tackling a reflective writing assignment?
