This is the link to the Wikipedia page on reflective practice. Wikipedia is what it is so for greater understanding I would delve deeper but it will give you a general idea. Most nursing students like the Gibbs model as it easy to use and fits well with most situations. Using a model/tool allows clearer thinking and clearer expression of those thoughts and feelings. I hope this helps. It may help you develop your own model...(Ollie's mum)

Lara Croft

Rhianna Pratchett talks about how she grew up doing things in a baoys world and she wanted to do things that her dad did. She played Tomb Raider when she was younger and she enjoyed it alot. However she thought that Lar Croft was over sexualised within the game saying that the game wasnt for girls. So what she did when she got hold of the charcter was create a whole new Lara Croft and fill in the background of the character. She also developed the relationships between Lara and the other charcaters in the game and established her characteristics. The emotional side of Lara was introduced and she looks alot more realistic.
