What are included in a reflection paper? • A brief summary of what happened. • Identify and explain relevant conceptual material (theories, concepts) from the course. • Use the concept/idea/theory to analyze what happened in the negotiation. • Grammar / Rhetoric / Writing process / Writing topics discovery …etc.

  5. Guidelines • Papers should be 2 pages long (about 500 words), double space, with formal language and correct spelling and punctuation. • Topics have to be chosen and specified. There can be one major, or several small topics in a reflection paper. • Topics reflected upon include any information covered in class or in the reading from the beginning of the semester to the present. • Papers may take 1 or 2 topics and examine them deeply, or more topics examined in less detail

  6. When writing, consider the following: • What have we studied/learned that is interesting? • What new things have I learned? • How has my learning affected preconceptions or misconceptions I brought with me into class? • What changes do I make based on what I newly learn? • What else do I want to learn? • How can you learn more? • Make a draft first that will give you an understanding of how many and how long your paragraphs will be, what is going to be the statement, and what facts you are going to use.
