WPC - Reflections

Which of the following best explains what should be included when describing what you did during your activity?

• A short summary of where you went

• A detailed account of your actions, including what you did and how you did it

• The name of the activity only

• A list of your favorite parts

When talking about how you showed the skills you selected, you should:

• Mention the skills in a list without examples

• Explain how each skill was used during the activity with specific examples

• Just say “I used teamwork”

• Only write about one skill

What is the best reason to include why you selected this activity?

• To fill up space in your reflection

• So your teacher knows what you like

• To show your personal connection or motivation for choosing it

• It’s not necessary to explain

A reflection should describe preparation because:

• It shows how you got ready, planned, and took responsibility

• It’s interesting to your classmates

• You need to fill out all the sections

• Everyone does the same preparation anyway

Which of the following is the best example of describing a challenge you faced?

• “It was hard.”

• “I didn’t like the weather.”

• “The track was muddy and slippery, so I had to focus more on my balance and pace.”

• “I was tired.”

Why should you include how you reacted to challenges?

• So others can learn from your mistakes

• Because challenges are the most fun part

• So your reflection sounds more dramatic

• To show how you used your skills or mindset to keep going

A vague reflection might say, “I showed leadership.” A detailed reflection would more likely say:

• “I helped out.”

• “I told people what to do.”

• “I led the group when we got lost by staying calm, using the map, and discussing a new route with my teammates.”

• “I was the loudest.”

How should you describe what you learned from the activity?

• In one sentence like “I learned a lot.”

• By giving specific examples of personal growth or new skills

• Just by listing what went wrong

• By repeating what you already wrote

If something unexpected happened, what is the best way to write about it?

• Ignore it—it wasn’t part of your plan

• Briefly mention it but don’t explain

• Describe it fully and explain how you responded and what you learned

• Make up something dramatic

Which statement shows strong self-reflection?

• “I was cold but I kept going.”

• “Even though I was freezing, I stayed focused on the goal and encouraged my group to keep moving.”

• “The weather was annoying.”

• “We finished it eventually.”
