Update: Why not take a look at what our Writing TA, Sohyeon, wrote on her blog about Adora's message. This is an example of some good "reflection" mixed with "analyisis."
Reflective Essay: In response to "Spring" or "What adults can learn from kids" or BOTH TOGETHER!
In class, we watched the first chapter "Spring" in Kim Ki Duk's film "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring." and Adora Svitak: What adults can learn from kids. The purpose of this essay is to write a simple "reflective essay" with the following in mind:
In the film, what lesson do you think the monk is trying to teach the young boy? Reflectively relate this learning process to your own personal experience.
In the film, what lesson is Adora trying to teach adults? Reflectively relate this to your own personal experience and give examples.
Here is a simple outline for structure:
When you transfer your in-class writing onto your blog, please title it "Reflective Essay:_________" with a suitable title of your own showing which video you are writing about. To help interested readers know what you are talking about, please include this video from YouTube or the TED Talk, as they may wish to watch it themselves to form their own opinion.

Here is a simple outline for structure:
- An introduction with a very brief summary of what you saw in the film. Try to limit your summary to about 4 sentences. If we over-summarize, our reader will become bored.
- A Body Paragraph where you relate your own personal experience. As children (and even adults), we often "learn a lesson" from our parents or teachers. Have you had similar experiences? Can you provide a personal anecdote? This section of your essay is the most important, and can be more than one paragraph.
- A conclusion. What is your overall opinion on how the old monk taught the young monk or how Adora presented her thoughts to the audience? Was it too harsh? Was it effective? How should teachers and parents teach children? How should children teach parents and teachers?
