REFLECTIVE WRITING Reflective writing is normally about a personal experience and a lesson or realisation from it. It is a personal account of what you think and feel during and after that experience. You can express your thoughts or perceptions about a person, event or object. You don’t write to demonstrate your knowledge of a subject, but to reveal a bit about your personality or character. Downloaded from hlayiso.com

HOW TO WRITE A REFLECTIVE PIECE • Open with an interesting introduction (something to prepare the readers on what they are going to read). • Write about a personal experience. • Include interesting details. • Use descriptive verbs, nouns, adjectives and figurative language to describe what you saw, heard, smelled, felt and thought. • Don’t rely on facts only- this is what makes the reflective column different and easier to write compared to other types of writing. • Mention whether anything had changed after that incident and whether it was a good / bad experience; there should be a realisation (a lesson learnt).
