Task: 2B - Reflective Writing Task

I used Jenny Moon's 1999 theory to reflect on a ballet class on 14th November. I based it on the following framework:

1)	Noticing	The student has to register the topic, event or incident as being important/interesting in some way.
2)	Making sense	The student thinks more about what they have noticed and tries to understand it better.
3)	Making meaning	The student starts to ask questions and to connect ideas together.
4)	Working with meaning	Student makes links with other ideas and events. They would probably refer to literature and other research at this point, reflection on the learning is likely to be taking place.
5)	Transformative learning	The student has reached the point where they can formulate new ideas of their own. They know what they would do if a similar situation arose in the future.

I was surprised how much I learnt from this. I was reflecting upon a class that didn't go very well and happened to be the day before an audition. After using this framework it became clear that a shift in my mentality from 'dancing for myself and thinking everything is work in progress' to 'how did that look to a director and was it good enough?' was quite possibly responsible, and I do feel like I would be aware of this if a similar situation arose. 

I considered that it could have just been a bad day and the more difficult standard could have shifted the atmosphere and results of the whole class. I also am aware that I may have just started the class in a different mood due to other factors. 

I am looking forward to using other frameworks in the future because I think this was a very accurate conclusion of what often happens to my thought process.
