The 500-Word “Reflection:

The “Reflection” involves thinking about how the Extended Essay process has impacted on you as a learner. This includes how you envisage transferring the skills and lessons you have learned to other circumstances, including future studies, career or life in general.

To assist you with this, there are three formal reflection sessions with your supervisor. Your reflective thinking is recorded as a 500-word reflective statement that is written at the end of the extended essay process.

Keeping an ongoing record of your reflective thinking will support you in the writing of the reflective statement.
