Complete the Summary Prep Wkst.docx
Settings before trying to compose your summary. Both the summary (7pts and submitted here) and the checklist (3pts – submit file here) need to be completed to receive full credit.
The summary should do the following to receive full credit: -it should begin with a sentence that states the full name of author and title of source along with what it is about.
-restate the thesis and key support ideas (use annotated reading assignments to help) – keeping a similar order.
-all ideas need to be restated and presented in an original way to avoid plagiarism – *quote where need be – one full quote only, along with unique phrases*
-should be objective -> only contain the ideas presented in the text and none of your own thoughts.
-use ‘author tags’.
-between 1/2 to 1 full page
