1. A title page (replace this page with your title page), proper grammar and a reference list.
2. A 2-3 page summary of the article - here's a suggested method for writing the summary:
a. Read the article and make sure you understand it.
b. Outline the article. Note the major points.
c. Write a first draft of the summary without looking at the article.
d. Always paraphrase when writing a summary (don't copy a phrase from the original unless you absolutely have to - it's an important phrase and you do not want it to be misinterpreted). If this happens make sure you first put "quotation marks" around the phrase.
e. Start your summary with a clear identification of the, title, author, and main point in the present tense.
f. Check with your outline (see above) and the original to make sure you have covered the important points.
g. Never put any of your own ideas, opinions, or interpretations into the summary. This means you have to be very careful of your word choice.
h. Write using "summarizing language." Occasionally note that this is a summary by using phrases such as the author(s) argues, implies, etc.
