1. Select the learning opportunity that you would like to reflect on (you might like to use one of those that I listed in my lecture notes:

Casual job at the bookstore

Being a mentor for new students

Taking part in a hackathon or pitching competition Volunteering at the local animal shelter

Engaging in representative level sport

President of a student association

Etc....

2. Work through the self-reflective process using the SEAL worksheet, writing out your responses.

And why did you take the actions you took?

S = situation What happened during the event, incident, activity, or task?

A = action What action did you take or strategies did you employ to deal with the challenge/s?

E = effect What were the new experiences you had to deal with or the challenges faced, and what impact did they have on you?

L = learning What did you learn from it -- what can you now do as a result and what do you need to do to handle a similar situation again in the future?

How has the experience added to the ones you have already had in terms of your development?
