Here are 5 top tips for reflective writing:
-
Be curious about what you see, read and hear. Become a good observer and a good listener.
-
Carry a notebook and pen to note down your thoughts and questions.
-
Try writing from different perspectives, e.g. students or parents, asking yourself, ‘What’s it like to be you?’
-
Draw on your reading to inform your reflections.
-
Go beyond descriptive writing to the higher levels of reflection: analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
