Essay Analysis

The first thing to do when beginning to work on a reflection essay is to read your article thoroughly while taking
notes. Whether you are reflecting on, for example, an activity, book/newspaper, or academic essay, you want
to highlight key ideas and concepts.
You can start writing your reflection paper by summarizing the main concept of your notes to see if your paper

give your reader a point of reference to fully understand your feedback.
