Description
• Describe in detail the event you are reflecting on.
• What happened; where were you; who else was there; why were you there; what were you doing; what were other people doing; what was your part in the event; what parts
did other people play in the event; what was the result?
Feelings
• What were you thinking and feeling?
• Try to recall and explore the things that were going on inside your head.
• How were you feeling when the event started; what were you thinking about at the time; how did the event make you feel; how did other people make you feel; how did
you feel about the outcome of the event; what do you feel/think about the event now?
Evaluation
• What was good and bad about the experience?
• Evaluate and make a judgment about what has happened.
• What was good about the experience/event; what was bad about the experience/event; what didn't go so well; what did you and other people do to contribute to the
situation (positively or negatively)?
Analysis
• What sense can you make of the situation?
• Break the event down into its components.
• Explore the various components.
• Look back and ask more questions about previous answers like: What went well; what did you do well; what did others do well; what went wrong; what didn't turn out
the way it was supposed to; who and what contributed to how things turned out?
Conclusion
• What else could you have done?
• Having worked through the different stages you now have more information to base your judgment on.
• What insights have you gained by working through the cycle; what have you learnt from the experience; what could you have done differently; what skills do you need
to develop, so that you can handle this type of situation better; how could this have been a more positive experience for everyone involved?
Action plan
• If it arose again, what would you do?
• What would you do; would you do things differently; would you do things the same way; what actions do you need to take?
