Task 2b Reflective Writing, My Journal Writing Experience


Task 2b Reflective Writing

What is Reflective Writing?







I like how this site again is straight to the point and not only gives you what reflective writing is but also what it isn't. I will definitely be referring back to this as I progress through this task. Its important for me to remember that when reflecting it all starts with me.

Points I have taken from this site
'How and why we think the way we do?'
'The examination of your beliefs, values, attitudes and assumptions form the foundation of your understanding'

In this task we are asked to try different ways to write our journal using different tools and frameworks. We are asked to write our journal specifically in the evening, I am interested to see how each of the suggestions help me to reflect on my experiences. There are 9 suggestions below and I am currently working my way through them. I have started using different styles to tackle writing in my journal taking it a couple of days at a time to make sure I can fully commit to each style.


What am I noticing so far?
Well writing in lists was quite easy keeping small/one or two words. Description and evaluation were different to write/read depending whether I had a day off or I was in rehearsals all day. All I can say is I am very opinionated and wow do I get moody and stressed! 

But it is interesting looking back over what I have written and thinking why did I write that, what made me feel that way, what am I going to do to ensure that I don't feel like that again, or make myself proud of what I have achieved. Having everything that I have done and that I am thinking of written down is evidence for myself of how I can change things and make everything work better for myself. 


Remembering it all starts with me
