Some of the girls believe that curriculum making by opening cod is not nesassary way to produce knowledge. As well. Artistic theme is draw out girls interview contents.In order to release the power of great potence of reflective narrative writing,we should over come impelementive, programmatic problems at the the levels of school and university cause some supple skills such as decision criteria, phalanstery and time limitations in these contexts.
