What is reflective writing?

Reflection is the process of describing our experiences, exploring why or how they matter, and using those insights to guide future performance and learning. When we use writing to reflect, we call both the process and the resulting product reflective writing. 

1
WHAT?
Recognize and articulate what happened or is happening in a particular learning moment.
2
SO WHAT?
Make sense of the experience and what it means for you as a learner — evaluate, interpret, connect to something else, make it abstract.
3
NOW WHAT?
Imagine what you might do differently in the future because of this learning experience.
