Summarizing Main Points
It's time to give it a try! You have critically read your selected journal article, made notes, and outlined the main points. You will now put pen to paper (metaphorically, at least) and write a single first-draft paragraph, summarizing one of the article's main points, chosen from your Week 2 outline.
To prepare for this Assignment:
- Choose one main point from Week 2 Assignment Critical Reading and Outlining.
- Review the Learning Resources related to summary and academic integrity.
- Review the content of your selected journal article.
The Assignment:
Compose a first-draft paragraph summarizing one of the article's main points. Remember that you are writing a first draft; the important thing is to begin committing your ideas in writing. While you should always strive for the best writing possible, at this stage, do not dwell too much on each word or overly edit your work. We will be spending the next weeks revising. Your submission should be 1 paragraph long.
