Writing Your Reflective Journal
When we met in Ararat, you started a reflective journal about the trip and your experiences preparing for it, taking part in it, and returning. I’m going to keep a reflective journal too, here, on this blog. On the Ning network that you should all now be part of, you can publish some of your reflections, or you can keep them in your journal. Remember though, that at some point, actually I should say, at several points, we (us staff members) will want to read some of the things you have written.
Here is a document that has some hints and prompts for writing a reflective journal.
Download it and use it to help you keep up with your entries. You should have a few entries already. Make sure you are writing regularly from now on. At least once or twice a week. You can write about what thoughts you’ve had about the trip that week, or what you’ve learned about someone else who is going to China with you.
I will ask for some feedback on my reflections here on the blog, so make sure you keep an eye on what I am writing here and write a few comments about what you think.
For me and for the project in general, keeping this blog is a great way to show how the project has progressed and what it has achieved and that will be made much richer if you are all contributing regularly.
