    A reflective journal analyzes and connects different aspects of one's work in progress. It records inspiration sources, how ideas are developed, and the cultural context of the work. The journal can include research notes, personal comments, gallery notes, quotes, and information from other sources. Critical reading involves making judgements about a text's arguments by comparing different viewpoints, identifying arguments, and determining conclusions. Reflective writing analyzes an event or experience using theories, explores its relevance, considers successes and failures, and says how the learning will influence future work. It has three parts: description, interpretation using theories, and learning outcomes.

    Critical and analytical writing

    Critical writing involves many of the same processes as when reading. So what is Critical reading? To read critically is to make judgements about how a text is written and argued. This is a highly reflective skill requiring you to stand back from the text you are reading. You might have to read a text through once to get a basic grasp of content before you launch into an intensive critical reading. These are the keys: dont read only for information (surface approach) do read for clues about views and opinions (deep approach) This means: comparing the same issue from different points of view identifying an argument (analysis of ideas/opinions) in the text identifying conclusions and spotting how different people arrive at different conclusions deciding what you think, based on the evidence available

    Then, in your own writing: look at the subject from different viewpoints show a clear line of reasoning present evidence to support your reasoning be clear what your conclusions are

    Here are some ways to help you read critically: read beginning and end of text to get an overview colour code different viewpoints underline key words, phrases, or sentences write comments in the margins (use stickers if its not your book)

    bracket important sections of the text show links with lines or arrows number related points in sequence
