ACT/College Prep.
Mr. Roark
English/Reading Comp.
Article Summary:
A staple of most survey/literature classes is the “article summary.” What we will attempt to do is combine some of your professor’s preferences and explain or interpret how our test relates to you and your experience right now.
Whereabouts: www.talbotsbook.com
Technique:
Each article should be read fully, of course. Then, a 150-200 (consult your notes) word summary should be written. Do not just list exactly what the author listed. Rather:
Give a summary of pertinent points
Interact with the thesis of the article
Ponder the information
Explain why this is pertinent to you
React and Poise to Act (what should you do about it?)
Write in complete sentences. Label your paper properly and use a clean sheet of paper for each submission (no notebook perforations, etc…). Some professors prefer note cards, or maybe he/she will want it sent via email or blog…
