Reflections involve:

-**Description**: briefly describe the experience (Class, activity, reading assignment, school or job experience. Merely a record of events. Make connecctions to real life experiences. What did you learn through reading the assigned reading and can you make a connection between your life and what you have read or learned?

-**Impac**t:Tell what you learned ( or confirmed what you already believed, or how it dffers from what you believed). How do you feel about what you learned? What do you now know or what can you now do that you didnt know or were not yet able to do before? How does this experience make you feel? Areyou concerned?

-**Intent**:Make a statement about what you intend to do as a result of your learnings and feelings. Phrase in personal and positive way 'what i will do is..." Based on your experience, what will you do i the future to make use of your learnings. (behave differently, do further reading, things you will observe more closely or differently) How will this impoact your teaching? How and when will you do what you wantto do?

Good Refelctions have three elements: -Recollection -Analysis -Interpetation then -Proposed Action
