In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In your notes, summarize the experience, reading, or lesson in one to three sentences. These sentences should be both descriptive yet straight to the point. Determine why that material stands out and make another note of what you figure out. For lectures or readings, you can write down specific quotations or summarize passages. For experiences, make a note of specific portions of your experience. You could even write a small summary or story of an event that happened during the experience that stands out. Images, sounds, or other sensory portions of your experience work, as well. You may find it helpful to create a chart or table to keep track of your ideas. In the first column, list the main points or key experiences. These points can include anything that the author or speaker treated with importance as well as any specific details you found to be important. Divide each point into its own separate row. In the second column, list your personal response to the points you brought up in the first column. Mention how your subjective values, experiences, and beliefs influence your response. In the third and last column, describe how much of your personal response to share in your reflection paper. If you are struggling to gauge your own feelings or pinpoint your own response, try asking yourself questions about the experience or reading and how it relates to you. Sample questions might include: Does the reading, lecture, or experience challenge you socially, culturally, emotionally, or theologically? If so, where and how? Why does it bother you or catch your attention? Has the reading, lecture, or experience changed your way of thinking? Did it conflict with beliefs you held previously, and what evidence did it provide you with in order to change your thought process on the topic? Does the reading, lecture, or experience leave you with any questions? Were these questions ones you had previously or ones you developed only after finishing? Did the author, speaker, or those involved in the experience fail to address any important issues? Could a certain fact or idea have dramatically changed the impact or conclusion of the reading, lecture, or experience? How do the issues or ideas brought up in this reading, lecture, or experience mesh with past experiences or readings? Do the ideas contradict or support each other?
Summary: Identify the main themes. Jot down material that stands out in your mind. Chart things out. Ask yourself questions to guide your response.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Daily cleanings of your dog's food or water dish are an important step in keeping your dog healthy. Depending on what you feed him, you may have to clean his food dish multiple times a day. For example, if you feed him wet food only, a combination of wet and dry food, or raw food, clean his food dish after each meal. If you feed your dog only dry food, then cleaning the food dish once a day may be sufficient. If you have outdoor dogs, or use one water dish for multiple dogs, clean that dish several times a day. If your dog's food and water dishes feel particularly slimy, consider cleaning the food dish after each meal and the water dish twice daily. Food and water dishes can also accumulate saliva, dust, and debris. In addition to possibly making your dog sick, he may not even want to eat or drink out of the dishes if they look too dirty. Not all food or water dishes can withstand frequent washing. Over time, less durable dishes can develop scratches in which bacteria could grow and make your dog sick. When you have cleaned the food or water dishes, look them over closely for scratches. Replace any scratched dishes. Stainless steel and porcelain dishes are very durable and can handle frequent cleaning. Ceramic and plastic dishes are not good choices because they are very porous and can harbor bacteria. In addition, plastic dishes get scratches very easily. It is not enough to keep your dog's food and water dishes cleanthe area around his eating area needs to be clean, too. To clean the floor in that area, mix together equal parts vinegar and water and mop the area every few days. Alternatively, you could place a rubber food mat under the dishes to collect excess food and water. Wipe down or hand wash the food mat each day to keep it clean and prevent bacterial growth.
Summary: Clean your dog's food or water dish every day. Inspect the food or water dish for scratches. Clean the area around your dog's food and water dishes.
