The Reflection

This aspect of the SBA requires candidates to focus on three key areas:

1. How did the artefacts help to shape your thinking: This is where the student will highlight what he/she has learned from reviewing and selecting relevant data from the three artefacts. 
2. The language Use: Based on the information outlined in the artefacts, the candidate is expected to comment on the effectiveness of the language use of each artefact. For example, did the writer use statistic? Did the writer use formal language, informal language or both? Is the tone persuasive, argumentative or narrative? 
3. How did doing the SBA helps you to become a better person: This is where the candidate is expected to focus on key areas such as working in a group, selecting relevant information and the skills that were enhanced. 

Example:

Reflection 1: 

My first artefact is a newspaper article entitled "Save the Penguins" by John Brown. The article highlights the effects of global warming on the environment and how the penguins are affected by this ordeal. It helps me to understand that if individuals do not take effective measures to end pollution then the penguins will be extinct. Before reading this article I really thought that only humans are affected by the effects of pollution. My second artefact is a video which I downloaded from youtube entitled "Air Pollution". This video highlights the ways in which air pollution affects human beings. One of the main effects is respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. From this video, I understand that air pollution does not only affect the environment but also people. My third artefact is audio of song entitled "clean up the environment" by  Mkay1 and it highlights measures in which individuals can take in order to stop polluting the environment. From this, I understand that pollution can be prevented and if pollution can be prevented then the effects will not be this daunting.
