'Reflective Thinking' - How can I develop as a learner?

Next week you will receive some feedback based on the creative writing you did in class. You were asked to use the still image below as a trigger (to quote Alice) for your thinking and imagination to develop.

In order for you to develop your learning about creative writing from the thinking, activities, class discussion and feedback so far, it will be important to go through the process of reflection. Please see an explanation of what reflection is below and comment in this post about any thoughts or questions you might have.

Reflection needs to focus on the knowledge and understanding that has been gained from a learning experience as well as the processes that were utilised to gain this knowledge. In other words, you reflect on what you learnt as well as how you investigated, communicated and/or participated in pair, small group or whole class contexts to access this learning.

Reflection also has a future focus. You should ask the questions:

•where do I now go with this learning? 

and

•in what new contexts can my learning be applied?
