The idea in plain language
A short note about a difficult idea is easier to revisit than a copied page of text.
Start with the reason behind the idea. Reading it once can create familiarity; explaining it in a different example is a better way to check what you understood.
What to notice
Notice the phrase you keep mixing up.
Describe the information you have, and name anything that remains uncertain. Avoid filling in the missing part just because the situation looks familiar.
A useful response
Write the difference and one example rather than copying everything.

Choose a small example of your own. Explain the clue, the reason and the response in that order, then make a note of what you would check with an official source or instructor.
