Questions

Reflections may not come naturally.  Students should consider the following key questions:

• What did I plan to do?
• What did I do?
• What were the outcomes, for me, the team I was working with, and others?

Other questions to ask would be:

• How successful was I in achieving my goals?  What difficulties did I encounter and how did I overcome them?
• What did I learn about myself and others through this activity/project?  What abilities, attitudes and values have I developed?
• Did anyone help me to think about my learning during this activity/project?  If so, who helped and how did they help?
• How did this activity/project benefit others?
• Did I maintain full attendance?  How many sessions have I missed? Was I punctual? How would I summarize my effort and commitment?
• What might I do differently next time to improve?
• How can I apply what I have learned in other life situations?
• What have I learned about development issues that are evident in our local community?  How do I feel about this?  What are my views on these issues?  What have I done to address these issues?
