SUMMARY & RESPONSE ASSIGNMENT: One skill you must have on entering English 100 or ESL 99 is the ability to summarize an article or an argument. We will practice a standard term.

A. Write a four to six-sentence summary of the assigned article in paragraph from. Number your sentences.

B. The first sentence of the summary must include the thesis (main idea) of the essay.

C. Begin this way: In" (name of article, with major words capitalized)," (name of author)

Example: In "'Some Lessons from the Assembly Line," Andrew Braaksma.

D. Continue with one of the introductory verbs we have practiced, e.g. states, claims, argues, discusses, describes, reports, etc. The rest of the sentence will include the main idea and main supporting points.

E. The first time you mention a name, use first and last names. If you mention the author's name again, or any name for the second time, use only the last name.

F. Use the present tense to report arguments, but past tenses to report events or conversations that happened.

G. The rest of the summary will provide important support from the whole article for the main idea.

H. Be sure to balance your summary. You must give equal importance to the main ideas in the whole article. Many students make the mistake of writing too much detail about the first couple paragraphs and don't give enough attention to the whole article.

I. Do not copy from the article!

• Read the article until you are familiar with it.

• Underline main ideas and write a very brief outline.

• Write your summary with the article put away.

• When you have finished writing the summary, reread the article to check and correct details.

J. Cite your source: Different types of sources have different rules. Check in the library for online form.

K.* Response: Write a paragraph or two (at least eight sentences total) responding to the author's ideas. You might want to use personal experience to explain your position.
