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.
