Reflective writing is a very personal piece of work, therefore when you write you are allowed to use the 1st person pronoun ‘I’. Make sure that you describe the experience in an objective way – do not only criticise yourself and write about weaknesses and things that went badly. Writing about your successes, strengths and positive results is equally important.
Things to avoid when writing a reflection:
· Repetition of ideas
· Using emotive language
· Listing events without explanation
· Writing a list of complaints
· Writing using a very subjective style
