- 10. <ul><li>Reflective writing is explorative, lively and creative. </li></ul><ul><li>It often surprises the reader with its insights and unlikely connections. </li></ul>
- 11. <ul><li>Reflective writing encourages the reader to look in new ways at familiar things, examining with a critical eye what they usually take for granted. </li></ul>
- 12. <ul><li>Begin by thinking about what you already know about the subject. </li></ul>
- 13. Reflective Writers: <ul><li>Present a particular occasion in a vivid and suggestive way that encourages readers to want to know more about the writer’s thoughts. </li></ul>
- 14. To Succeed at Presenting the Occasion Vividly <ul><li>Use the same techniques of describing and narrating as used for Autobiography and Observation Essays. </li></ul>
- 15. Developing your Reflections: Generalizing <ul><li>Consider what you have learned from the event or experience that will be the occasion for your reflections. </li></ul>

- 24. A Mind at Work <ul><li>The writer arranges the parts carefully to give the appearance of the writer’s mind at work. </li></ul>
- 25. Repeat Key Words or Phrases: First Method <ul><li>Each new idea or example may seem to turn the essay in an unexpected new direction, making the essay seem to ramble. However, referring to the subject at various points of the essay by repeating certain key words or phrases associated with the subject pulls the reader back to the topic. </li></ul>
- 26. Carefully Placed Transitions: Method Two <ul><li>Time and place markers within the essay to introduce a series of examples will also help achieve topical coherence. </li></ul>
- 27. Engaging Readers <ul><li>Remember, readers have no pressing reason to read a reflective essay. </li></ul><ul><li>The writer’s goal is to create common ground with the reader—something must catch the reader’s eye—a hook. </li></ul>
- 28. A Few Examples of Hooks for Reflection Essays <ul><li>A familiar author’s name </li></ul><ul><li>An Intriguing title </li></ul><ul><li>A unique quote </li></ul><ul><li>An intriguing question </li></ul><ul><li>Humor </li></ul>
- 29. How to Keep the Reader Reading <ul><li>The writer needs to project an image of themselves—sometimes called the writer’s persona or voice—that readers can identify with or at least find interesting. </li></ul>
- 30. Reflection Online <ul><li>The Web provides many new kinds of spaces for writers to reflect on a particular occasion. </li></ul>
- 31. These Spaces Include: <ul><li>Blogs </li></ul><ul><li>Personal Web Sites </li></ul><ul><li>My Space </li></ul><ul><li>Facebook </li></ul><ul><li>Online Publications </li></ul><ul><li>Global Voices Online </li></ul>
- 32. Proofreading <ul><li>Remember, proofreading the final copy for spelling, grammatical errors and sentence formation makes all the difference in the world if the writer’s goal is to present their writing as something they care about. </li></ul><ul><li>If the writer doesn’t care, why would the reader? </li></ul>
- 33. And Finally—An Appropriate Quote <ul><li>“I see but one rule: to be clear.” </li></ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Stendhal </li></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>
