Writing Corner

When you write a reflective and speculative essay, think about:

• what has already happened

• what opportunities were available and what results have taken place

• what feelings and attitudes you have experienced

• which people were involved directly or indirectly

• how to present your ideas so you can set the context clearly for your reader

Then refer to the real context and:

• reflect and/or evaluate the decision/choice you made

• wonder/speculate how things might have been different

• address the question to your reader

• express satisfaction or regret about your decision/choice
