How would you write a reflective essay?

Select a thesis that you would enjoy exploring more. Remember, essays are an opportunity for you to discover  yourself.


The best topics for reflective essays are things that have changed you as a person. For example, The most meaningful thing that has happened to me is: (I was one way before this event/thing, and now I am a different way).


Once you have decided your thesis and created a prewrite outline of points that you would like to include in your essay, move on to the rough draft.


1st paragraph: Grab your reader's attention with an interesting opening sentence. Then outline what the rest of your essay will be about. State your thesis.

2nd-4th paragraphs: These are your body paragraphs. Start each on off with a different supporting detail for your thesis. Describe each supporting detail in that paragraph.

5th paragraph: Concluding paragraph. Restate you thesis in a different way. Leave the reader with a good feeling.
