Reflective Narrative Guidelines

 RUBRIC

The reflective narrative affords you the opportunity to reflect upon your experiences. This reflection includes a chance to summarize the project, address problems encountered, analyze problem-solving strategies employed, and describe resulting learning and personal growth. It provides the background and context needed to understand the depth and scope of your project.

 What results or findings did you conclude?

 What would you have done differently and why?

 How would you use what you have learned in the future?

 Of what component are you the most proud and why?

 What advice would you give to a student undertaking a similar process?

 A reflection of your “new” learning

 A description of the role that your mentor or outside sources played in your project

Your reflection must also contain:

 An organizational structure that allows for a progression of ideas to develop and that includes:
