What is reflection is analysis, not narration?Show answer
The single most important principle is that a reflection analyses rather than narrates. It does not tell the story of writing the piece, and it does not list what you did. It argues why your significant choices were the right ones for your interpretive purpose. Every claim should connect a specific decision to the meaning or effect it was designed to produce, in the same way an essay connects a writer's technique to its effect.
