A reading reflection is essentially a reflection on your own thinking process while reading the article. You lost points if you only summarize the readings or paraphrase certain terms without critically reflecting on the contents. It\u2019s fine and normal if you don\u2019t understand the readings or certain concepts. However, it\u2019s not enough to merely state \u201cI find the reading hard to understand\u201d. You need to argue and give examples of which section you don\u2019t understand. Think about why you find certain readings harder to engage with. The reading reflection is a stand-alone piece of work, which has a logical structure. In other words, when you make an argument (this is interesting\/this is helpful), you need to demonstrate it and provide evidence, which can be your personal experiences, outside readings, or some observations on social phenomenon. While reading reflections don\u2019t have to be long, I find most short works vague and lack specificity. I don\u2019t encourage you to write long paragraphs, but you should make sure that your analysis\/writing is thoughtful and specific enough within 4-6 sentences. I will continue to post examples of reading reflections. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
