Reflection
INSERT YOUR REFLECTION ON YOUR SL EXPERIENCE HERE.
Critical reflection is a crucial part of service-learning. It allows you, the
student, to use critical thinking to gain a deeper understanding of your
service and course materials. Your reflection gives the audience a richer
description of your service activities and how you have applied your
experiences to your learning and vice versa. Reflection is not just a
description of “warm fuzzies” (although those are nice to include), it is an
opportunity to ask examine the “why” and “what now” of your service
experience. Example Reflection Questions
• How does this experience enhance my knowledge of a specific reading,
theory, or concept? Does it challenge or reinforce my prior
understanding?
• Why is there need for my service? What do I perceive as the underlying
issue, and why does it exist? Are there connections to public policy at
the local, state, or national level?
• What obstacles-internal and external-hindered me? What factors made
me more effective?
• What is in the interest of the common good in this situation? In what
ways is the individual good (mine or that of other people) linked to
and/or contrary to the common good? What tradeoffs between them are
involved?

PHOTO/GRAPH/TABLE/ or
GRAPHIC (delete this box
and insert)
Photos and graphics should be in the highest quality
possible. Photos from a digital camera are ideal. Do
not take a very small picture/graph/clip art from
the internet and enlarge more then twice its
original size. It will be fuzzy and look bad. To check
the quality of your photo, zoom to 50%. This is
approximately what it will look like when it prints.

Additional Instructions
1. Save your file using this format:
Class Name_ Poster Title_ Submitters Last Name.
Example: SOCWRK 101_Child Hunger_Finnegan
2. Do not put text or graphics all the way to the
edge of the file. Give at least one inch margin.
STYLE GUIDELINES for your Poster:
•Font size should not be smaller than 32, unless it
is a citation or notation.
•Do not put all of your text in bold or outline.
Save bold font for headings.
•Do not use an exotic font or light colors on text.
•Spell check and proof read your submission
multiple times. Have someone outside of your
team proof read your poster before submitting. A
typo on a poster that is 3’ x 4’ is extremely
noticeable.
•Avoid using black or neon colors as a
background.
•Avoid using shadow or other enhancements to
your images. It makes the file very large and can
make the poster visually cluttered.
