• Reflect – Report the facts of what you read, objectively. (Short, to the point, yet captures "essence" of the text, one paragraph)
• Connect – Analyze the reading. How does this experience relate to earlier ones? How does it connect to what I already know, believe or feel? Does it reinforce or expand my view? (your second paragraph)
• Apply – Consider the future impact of the experience on you and the community. How can I use what I have learned from the reading in my current or future teaching?  (your third paragraph)
