decide on an incident for your assignment and write it up

1. Read module 02 for tips on how to select an incident and write it up. This week try to be alert for a possible incident.  
2. If you can, do a first draft of your incident. It is always a good strategy to assume you will need to re write an assignment over a couple of sittings. Any assignment does not need to be perfect on the first attempt. As you become more familiar with the demands of this particular assignment you can keep going back and reworking your first draft.

conclude some personal reflections and write them up

1. Read module 02 for tips on how to reflect on the incident.
2. If you do settle on an incident, consider making some initial notes about your reflections. Again assume you will need to allow a couple of sittings before you have a reasonable set of reflections that you could submit.
