2. A reflective essay is an essay type based on your own
experience. Our everyday life is full of more or less
important events.Your task is to look on them through
the eyes of a young philosopher.
We recommend you to read this information before you
will write a reflective essay.
3. If you have to write a reflective essay on a given
topic, you may narrow it according to your own
interests.
Suppose you have to write a reflective essay
about leadership.
1. Choosing a Topic for Writing a
Reflective Essay
4. 1. Ask yourself a question: “Am I a leader for life?”
If your answer on this question is positive, your
reflective essay on a leadership will be a detailed
answer on the following questions:What is a
leadership namely for you? Can you imagine your
life without being a leader?What are the pros and
cons of being a leader?
5. 2. In the case if your answer on this question is “No,
I’m not a leader for life”, ask yourself the next
question: “Have I ever been in a situation where I
showed myself as a leader?”
If your answer on this question is positive, you may
narrate an amusing story where you proved to be a
leader for a certain period of the time. Note that in
this case your essay has some elements of a narrative
essay type.To make your essay reflective, you have
to demonstrate your own point of view and attitude
to leadership. In other words, your essay must
contain something like a philosophical discourse.
6. 3. In the case if your answer is negative on the
previous question, ask yourself the next question:
“How do I imagine a leader’s life?”.
You may describe a life of any person who is a leader.
It may be a man or a woman among your relatives,
friends or old acquaintances.
Don’t forget that if you write a reflective essay, you
have to show your own opinion, thoughts and ideas
which are based on your experience.The main
question you need to answer is “What is a leadership,
according to your own point of view?”
7. A reflective essay has a traditional structure:
1. An introduction paragraph.
2. Body (or supporting) paragraphs.
3. A concluding paragraph.
2. Writing a Reflective Essay
8. An introduction paragraph is the first part of your
reflective essay.Your introduction should contain 3
sub-parts: a hook (something that attracts a reader’s
attention), some background information, a thesis
statement (your own point of view).
Body paragraphs are the biggest part of your essay.
You may write as many supporting paragraphs as you
want.
A conclusion paragraph is the last part of your
reflective essay. Demonstrate your own point of view
on the given topic one more time.
9. P.S. Don’t be afraid to express some
original (or even crazy) ideas on the given
and well-known topic.
The more unpredictable thoughts you
present, the more attractive your essay is
to your potential readers.
10. If you are a leader for life and everyone knows you
as the best and the first guy in everything what you
do, but inwardly you feel yourself as an
unprotected little boy, be frank and write about
your sincere feelings!
In the case if your situation is opposed to the
previous one and nobody knows and even suppose
you as a leader, however, you believe in your own
potential power and, moreover, you are sure that
you have a big inclination to manage other people,
don’t be shy and express your real thoughts and
desires on paper!
