Planning: Reflection on Planning Process

For the final task in your Planning unit you will need to write a reflection on your planning process.

These questions should act as prompts for your reflection.

• How effective was your planning?
 
• What has it taught you about the planning of a magazine?

• How has it aided your project?

This should be a minimum of 750 words
