Task 2b- Journal writing experience

So I began my journal by just writing and seeing what came out. This helped me with getting started.  I remember what a teacher once told me at school, 'if you are just staring at a blank page and you can think of nothing to write, just write anything even if it is just random words or letters', I tried this and sentences began flowing from my pen. I have taken each day I teach and tried to explore each way of writing journals. I still have a few left but at the moment, I feel 'evaluation' and also 'list' is working well for me. With listing things down I don't have to think as hard as things just come out in order. Evaluation helps to deepen my thoughts. After I have explored all the ways of writing, I think I will definitely explore these two ways in more depth as I think combining both together would really help me reflect.

I am teaching street, ballet, jazz and tap tomorrow so I am going to try and use charts, graphs and diagrams to help stimulate my reflection- maybe in a spider diagram. I am now going to research 'My life in graphs' as mentioned in the module handbook.

I am finding my reflective journal very helpful with improving my teaching as it shows me where I have gone wrong and how I could do things differently. Noting this all down helps, as it is not forgotten.

Task 2a

I have begun my reflective journal. Trying to get my point across on paper is proving very difficult and reflecting on what has happened in the day is even harder! I have bought a little notebook and am just scribbling down all my thoughts for now to read later and try to get into the habit of reflecting. I don't really enjoy being on my laptop all the time so I have decided to write a good old fashioned journal rather than a high tech one but everyone is different and what works for me may not work for others.
Tonight, I might try to start working on task 2b, I think it may help develop my thoughts, however, I may be running before I can walk here.
I still need some help with task 1c and I need to catch my brother when he isn't busy! Any advice on where to start would be much appreciated.
