today we're going to talk about how to write a reflective
journal entry
let's look at the steps
you need to make sure to read the question carefully
use the questions in your answer
insert also admits that the question
use specific examples in your answer
and as a always
check your work
before you turn
let's take a look at our sample
here's a sample prompt
what will you needed to be successful in this class
right about two skills you will need in order to complete the assigned project
what strategies will you use to ensure that you have the skills to be
successful
here's a sample journal entry
there are many skills i will need to be successful
in this class
one of the skills i will need
is how to edit photos
i will need this skill when working on creating images for prints material
a strategy
i can use
will be to watch the how-to videos ahead of time
and practice on sample images
before i start my images for my project
this way i will be prepared when we start the module on image creation
another skill and will need to be successful in this class
is organization
there are many steps that need to be completed during this class
to complete the final project
i will need to be organized to make sure that i have all of the materials i will
need
one strategy i can use to organize my work
is to create folders
for each module
saving the files i will need in each folder
i can also named files carefully to save time when i need to go back and find
them
when i come to something I am unsure of during this class
i will use the tools
that are provided for me
and seek help from others when needed
this will help me to be successful
now let's talk about using the question in your answer
if we look at our sample journal prompt
what will you need to be successful in this class
i've written that in red so that you can see in my first
paragraph that i have used
the question in my answer
there are many skills i will need to be successful in this class
that is the opening sentence of my first paragraph
if i look at the second paragraph
another skill i will need to be successful in this class is organization
again
looking at the red
in my sample
journal prompt and looking at the red in the second paragraph shows
that i've used the question my answer
i'd also use the question to help me wrap up my last thought
this will help me
to be successful
there are three examples in my journal entry that show that i
am using the question in my answer
the next part is answer all segments of the question
in blue in my journal prompt
looked at write about two skills you will need in order to complete the assigned
project
if you looked at the first paragraph in my journal entry
in blue
there are many skills i will need to be successful in this class
one of the skills i will need
is how to edit photos
you can see clearly
that part of the question in blue
and the part of my response in blue
match they're both talking about skills
when you look at the sentences in blue and the second paragraph
another skill i will need to be successful in this class is organization
again looking at the blue
in my journal prompt write about two skills that you will need in order to
complete the assignment
clearly I've answered that segment of the question
now let's look at the purple segment of the question what strategies will you
use to ensure that you have the skills to be successful
in my first paragraph in purple
strategies i can you as will be
in my second paragraph one strategy i can use
and then if you look down towards the end
when i come to something i am unsure of in this class and will use the tools
that are provided to me to seek help from others when needed
even though the says the state that it's a strategy it clearly it's so this show
that i have used all of the parts of my questions
all of the segments
to answer my
questions
when i talk about the use of specific examples in your answer
for this journal prompt
it is the examples of how
i'm going to use my strategies
in my first paragraph i talk about is strategy i would use is watching videos
and practicing on sample images both of those specific examples
backup my writing that give details in support my writing
if you look in this second paragraph
i specifically talk about the strategies of creating folders
saving files and naming files those are specific
details to support
my thoughts of
organization
so in these ways i have used specific examples
in my answer
now after you're done with all of that and you've answered the questions of
did I answer all of the parts of the question have i used the question in my writing
am i using specific examples
do all of these things
prove i read my question carefully
then make sure you check for correct spelling capital letters and punctuation
make sure this is an example of your very best writing before you turn it in
