Summarising – but then critique a theory, your practice, your development.
Considering – think about and then recommend alternatives; and then appraise these options
Comparing – compare and contrast your differing approaches and recommend others.
Evaluating – your practice, draw conclusions, integrate with theory, evaluate and justify.
