Thoughts and Reactions
When writing an article reflection, include your thoughts and reactions to the reading
Use a reflection paper to analyze what you have read
It should be well-written
You can include personal experience and knowledge in a reflection paper, but base your reactions
and reflections on the article
Dont Summarize and Dont Ramble
Do not use an article reflection to simply summarize what you have read
An article reflection should not be a free flow of ideal and thoughts
The idea of an article reflection is to write a piece describing your reactions and analysis to a
reading.
Organize Your Thoughts
An article reflection should be as organized as any other type of formal piece of writing
In the introduction, describe your expectations before the reading
You also may want to summarize the conclusion you came to during the reading and reflection
process
The body of your article reflection should explain the conclusions you have come to and why
o It is fine if you do a bit of further research and read related articles you find (if you find the
topic interesting).
Base your conclusions in real details you find in your reading
End the paper with conclusions that sums up what you got from the reading
Come to some other conclusion or analysis about the article that you didnt consider before reading
