Julia老师针对“反思性写作对职业发展的促进作用”和“如何在课堂上运用反思性写作”两个主题展开介绍。她首先引导大家思考有关价值观的问题，如“我们最注重哪种价值观？”“我们的价值观是否与生活或工作相符？”“用头脑风暴法来思考关于该价值观的问题”等等。老师和同学们踊跃发言，对诚实、勤奋、责任感等价值观展开了充分讨论。接着，Julia老师以“人们什么时候学得最好？”引出信念与行为的匹配问题。大家认为有明确的目标、有兴趣、学习的内容很重要等是学得好的必要条件，Julia老师对此进行了分析和补充。之后，Julia老师建议老师和同学们写一件事，先从自己的角度描述这件事，再从对方的角度重新描述这件事，大家积极分享所遇到的事，Julia老师对此进行总结并强调了换位思考的重要性。最后，Julia老师提出在课堂上运用的反思方法包括写反思性文章、组合方法以及自由写作等。
