The website apastyle.org/learn/index.aspx features a two stage tutorial for writing in the APA (American Psychological Association) style. The first stage is to help people learn the basics, and the second stage is for people who are already familiar with the style guide who want to learn it completely.
In order to write a reflection paper in APA style, you will first want to go ahead and write your reflection as you would do normally. Make sure to include all the relevant points; typically a reflection paper is a reflection on a period in education, or on a particular event or experiment, so you should aim to write about the most important parts of the period/experiment etc., and give enough detail to put the events into context whilst remaining concise.
Once you've written your paper, you'll then want to ensure it adheres to the APA style guide. Ask your tutor if the use of first person pronouns is acceptable for this assignment, as whilst you aren't usually supposed to use them, they can help add interesting narrative to reflections. The most notable changes you may have to make are to your reference list. Most academic bodies will accept either APA referencing or referencing using the Harvard system, so ensure you have kept to the former.
