Reflection is defined as the process of engaging the self in critical, exploratory,
iterative, etc. in order to learn form own experience. Reflective writing is found to be an
analytical practice in which it is important for a writer to describe real or imaginary event

topics regarding the group presentation. It uses a reflective model that every individual
