Three moves
1. What happened — a specific incident, short.
2. Why it mattered — analysis, often using a model your module named.
3. What changes — a concrete next action, not “I learned a lot.”
Where students stall
The story runs for pages and the analysis is one sentence. Reverse the proportion. The incident is evidence. The mark sits in the interpretation.
