NOTE- Reflections named after sections are always a minimum 4 sentences that you write connecting to the topic.  Students can just remark on something from that section or the best is when they compare it to what they know and show they understand how relevant it is to their lives.  Summaries will NOT be given credit on the next notebook check.  If you are uncertain how to write a reflection instead of a summary, see P. Cook.
