Part 1: Reflection

This week in the writing center I learned how to write a lab report the correct way. It was interesting to me because I have never written a long report that included an abstract, introduction, methods, steps, materials, results and conclusion. I have never written an abstract before and that was what was the most helpful for me and interesting. I learned that it is a summary of everything included in the paper combined into one paragraph at the beginning of the paper. Another thing I learned was that usually in a lab report you want to avoid using "we" in the paper because since you are usually doing the paper in a group you are bound to use "we" a lot and I learned that that isn't the proper way to write a lab report and usually the reader doesn't like that included.

Facts about spay and neutering

  • 10% of animals picked up by shelters have been spayed or neutered
  • 2% of stray cats are spayed or neutered 
  • On average, fertile cats produce one to three litters a year; and average between four to six kittens per litter
  • On average, fertile dogs produce one litter a year; and average between four to six puppies per litter

I think these facts work out great for the tri-fold but I think I could add more facts but don't know exactly
what else to add? These work out great because it is informing college students about spay and 
neutering their animals and some quick facts.
