For Monday see some reminders here for revising your summaries.
Summarize your article in 1 1/4- 1 1/2 pages. Make sure your opening paragraph identifies not only the main thesis or finding of the article, but also provides an explanation of the context behind the subject: What kind of article is this? What kind of a journal or source is it published in? how does this article fit into its field? What seems to be the author's purpose?
In the body paragraphs (you'll probably have 1-3 of these) make sure your quotes identify the MAIN ideas of the article. (If your article is a scientific study, summarize the parts of the experiment, including method, findings, conclusions) Your conclusion, as in our previous summaries, should reflect the author's conclusions or thesis.
Objectives:
Find an article intended for an academic, not general audience.
Effectively summarize the article.
Be clear and support your reading
