How to write a Reflection Statement, what you should include:
Lazarus said:The Reflection Statement:
<ul><li> summarises the intent of the work and the relationship it has with the extensive independent investigation
<li> must include an outline of the intended audience for the Major Work and the purpose for which it was composed
<li> supports the Major Work explaining the relationships of concept, structure, technical and language features and conventions
<li> should explain the development of concepts during the process of composition making the links clear between independent investigation and the development of the finished product
<li> should indicate how the student realised the concepts in the final product.
</ul>It will therefore call on information that has been presented in each of the other three tasks in terms of intent, work in progress during the process of investigation and composition, and on information contained in the final report. Responses from teachers and students to the three assessment tasks may assist students in formulating their reflection statement.

You should aim to compose "a sophisticated and critical Reflection Statement that explains the intention, development and realisation of the Major Work", which "exhibits sophisticated and highly developed ability to articulate, monitor and reflect on processes of investigation, interpretation, analysis and composition."![]()
ujuphleg said:its basically what Laz said. its like your final journal entry too, just do what it says - reflect on your major work and the process which was involved in writing it.
oh and if you haven't mentioned at any point how the work relates to 2/3 Unit, then now is the time.
if you have a copy of Young Writers Showcase from any year at your school (if it isn't in the library, your extension teacher may have it) have a look at those, because they are the really really good ones....
pitted said:yeah i'd suggest 3 drafts of the reflection statement at least.
i did my first one immediately after i finished my short story, it was really crap but i think it was the way to go. id also suggest that people should re-read their mw's before the second and third drafts as well as looking over your work journal.
also refer and quote from your own mw.
not sure about anything else
hope that helps though

Say, if I wanted to write a crime story, but it really ended up being, I dunno, a love story, then I haven't really realised my concept very well have I? Or if I DID write a crime story, and it was just really shit, and didn't add anything to the genre or explore a new angle or whatever, then my concept wasn't fully realised either, it's only superficially realised.
