How to Summarize

Thinkwrite:
A. What was your reaction to Pat Bourne's life?
B. What was your reaction to the article?

We discuss the questions.

You write.

Now read an example of Summary/Analysis about the  Pat Bourne reading.
  • Underline the sentence that states the main point of the article.
  • Label the paragraphs in the margins -- intro/summary/analysis/concl
  • Underline author tags.
  • Put a wavy line under all the negative statements by me you can see.

You were to have read both articles.  Now pick up a copy of the article you will write about so that you can annotate it. You may refer to both articles in your paper, but you only have to annotate one.


Homework:

1. Read your chosen article and annotate it.  It will be part of the next daybook check. It MUST be annotated FOR TOMORROW.

2. TWFTD: a word from your article, with quote from article.
