PERFORMANCE TASK: Personal Retrospection

Rizal’s life would be impossible to study if he ceased to write his significant experiences through a
journal. As a Rizal student, you are vested with a moral responsibility to emulate, not just study, his life and
works. Thus, for this subject, you will be required to write a reflective essay.
Make a reflective essay about any event from your past. If it was important to you, it would be a good
topic. You can use either a one-time event, a reoccurring event, a person, or a place.
Brainstorm ideas by thinking about any of the following:
1. A relationship with an important person.
2. A single encounter with someone that changed you.
3. An event that was small but significant.
4. A major, life-changing event.
5. Something that you did over and over that was meaningful to you.
6. Your experience and memories of a place that embodies who you are, or has meaning for
you.
7. A time you were scared but overcame your fear.
8. An ending of a relationship, activity, or event.
9. A beginning of something new.
10. A time you felt embarrassed or guilty.

To make sure you have a good topic, you need to determine what the meaning of that event or person
was for you. To help you get ideas about the meaning and to decide whether this topic is a good choice, jot
down some notes answering the following 5 questions:
 What did I think the meaning of the experience was when it happened?
 How have my thoughts about it changed?
 What did I learn?
 How has my life direction been affected by this event?
 Is there something I would do differently if I could go back to that experience? Any regrets?

Although it will manifest the virtue of interiority, it is encouraged that your reflections should be relevant
to the social realities and should aim to awaken people’s social awareness. Submit your works in a .pdf
format by turning in to Google Classroom on or before the deadline set by your instructor.
