Reflective writing is where you revisit experiences and write down your thoughts about them, asking questions such as:

• "Why did it happen this way?"
• "How was I changed by this?"
• "What might I have done differently?"
• "How could I have handled the situation differently in hindsight?"
• " What have I learnt about myself?"
• " How do I interact in a team?"
• "How did I feel?"
• "Why did I react the way I did?"
• "How can I improve for next time?"

This is not a report so you don't need to follow report format. You can lay it out however you want to. It should mainly be about what you have learnt in PASBD but you could add in some personal experience if you wish. You will need proper SHU Harvard referencing and a bibliography. Leaflet attached.
Don't be too descriptive about the detail of what happened, it is more about your analysis of why the things happened that did. Finally I have two examples from people who have done this assignment previously, one bad and one very good.
