  1. Personal Reflective Plans Feedback.

  2. Reflection • Try to weave your reflection throughout your essay. • As you describe your experience, think about your thoughts and feelings and try to reflect in why you might have felt/feel that way at the time and how it affects you know.

  3. Advice • I’ve had a look at your plans and these are some of the areas of reflection that might help some of you develop your ideas a wee bit. • You are certainly not expected to answer all of these questions at length in your essay but they will help you to think a bit more deeply about the effect your hobby/experience has had on you. • Just think about these things aand see if you can include some of (not all!)these ideas in your essay.

  4. Content - reflection • Hobbies- piano/football/gymnastics/drama/running. • Think about: • What do you get out of your chosen activity? • Does it calm you down/ relieve the pressure of a normal day by making you think about something else or nothing at all? • Does it energise you? Make you feel better physically or emotionally. Can you describe how this feels? Does the feeling stay with you afterwards? Do you look forward to it? • Does your chosen activity allow you to become a different version of yourself? What are you normally like? What are you like when participating in your activity? Which version of yourself do you prefer and why? • Do you resent having to take part sometimes? Training arduous? Rather be with friends? Discipline needed? Get discouraged sometimes? Feel under pressure at times? • Are you still glad that you do it? Why? Why not? What does it bring to your life? How do you apply the things that you have learnt to the rest of your life? • What do you hope will happen next? Will you continue for future? Why? Why not?

  5. Work Experience - you CANNOT do all of this. • What where you expecting from the world of work? Where did you get these ideas from? Where these ideas realistic? Or a bit daft? ( I thought I was going to be in a programme called “L.A Law” when I was your age. Not sensible.) • Some of you talk about being left waiting for 20 minutes. How did this make you feel? Why might that have happened? What impression did this give you about what your work experience might have be like? Why did you feel this way? What did you learn about how people should be treated? • Unpleasant bosses? How did they make you feel? Why do think the bosses might have been unpleasant? How did you behave? How do you wish you had behaved? What has this taught you about working life and relationships in the world of work? Did it teach you anything you can use in your life now? • A lot of you say work experience has made you more mature but how? And has it really changed you that much in a week? If it has changed you, it might be in gradual, small ways. What are they? Try to give examples, rather than generalising. If you feel it has made a dramatic change in you, then what is the change? What were you like before? What are you like now? What is the difference? • What did you realise about yourself that you didn’t know before (you hate small children; you are more/less confident that you realised; you like the routine of school; how you react when you are taken out of a familiar environment. Do you thrive? Do you hate it? • What you have realised about the world of work/the job you did? Did you like it ? Was it what you expected? What skill do you think you need to do that job? Do you have those skills? Either way, explain why (or not) you are suited to that job. Try to be specific/Give examples. • Compare with school. Again be specific. If you say that you enjoyed the independence, explain what happened at work to make you feel this way and what happens in school to make you more dependant. • What about the future? Are you going to work harder to achieve your goal? How do you feel about this? Motivated? Excited? Are you a bit lost because you are not sure what to do? Will you just work your hardest for your exams and just hope that you think of something to do later on?

  6. Show Don’t Tell Do not summarise events or tell the reader directly! Describe the thoughts, feelings, actions, and appearance of things in order to demonstrate your point.

  7. For Example The girl was sad. Tears welled up on the edge of the young girl’s eyes, finally breaking and coursing down her cheeks. Her breath was stuttered and short, as she let out a series of painful little sobs.

  8. Show, Don’t Tell The Following: The man was old and dying. It was cold outside. The building was deserted.
