  3. Reflective Writing Reflective writing will aim to interest or give pleasure, rather than simply convey information. It will concern itself usually with a single idea, insight or experience and will include reflection on knowledge, thoughts or feelings engendered by it. The main requirements of the reflective essay are that it will: • be genuinely contemplative; its personal tone, for example, may be confidential, amused, concerned, indignant • communicate to the reader a clear sense of the writer’s personality • not merely offer the product of reflection, but engage the reader in the writer’s process of reflection through a distinct authorial voice or stance • where more than one idea, insight or experience is involved, through the writer’s treatment give unity to these. The reflective essay at Higher is not simply an account of an experience.

  4. Reflective Writing Process • Select a Topic for your essay • Create an Outline Plan of your essay. • Produce a First Draft of your essay. • Produce a Final Draft of your essay.

  5. Reflective Writing Task Seamus Heaney’s “Blackberry-Picking” is an account of the poet’s childhood experience of picking blackberries in rural Ireland, and uses this experience to reflect on his gradual disillusionment with the rural lifestyle of his youth. Produce a reflective essay, focusing on an event from your childhood which has become significant to you in some way.

  6. Selecting a Topic • Brainstorm the topic in your jotter, writing down as many childhood memories as you can. • Select a few of the best ideas upon which to base your reflective essay. • In small groups, share these ideas. You should discuss each person’s ideas, helping them to decide which ones would make the best subject matter for a reflective essay.

  7. Reflective Writing Criteria Content • Content is relevant and appropriate for purpose and audience, reveals depth and complexity of thought and sustained development. Structure • Structure is effective and appropriate for purpose, audience and genre; content is sequenced and organised in ways which assist impact. Expression • Capable use of techniques relevant to the genre and effective choice of words and sentence structures sustain a style and tone which clearly communicate a point of view/stance consistent with purpose and audience. Technical accuracy • Spelling, syntax and punctuation are consistently accurate. Word Limit: A minimum of 650 words, and a maximum of 1,300.
