Instructions: Summary assignment Write a paragraph (five to ten sentences each) of summary of each of the two essays: Essay 1: Essay 2: Include (on a new page--insert, break, page break) a paragraph of personal response (five to ten sentences). ONLY summarize the material and do NOT give a personal opinion or express agreement or disagreement. That will come later in your paragraph at the end. In the opening sentence of each summary paragraph, indicate the author and title of the essay and indicate the MAIN POINT of the essay: what that writer is trying to prove, essentially, that writer's thesis or main observation. This is required and MUST be in the opening sentence. Do NOT use the phrase “talks about” since that is vague and does not convey a main idea. In the body of the paragraph (at least three sentences), summarize the essay by identifying its main points. Include at least one BRIEF quotation, preferably introduced with a running acknowledgement (aka running attribution) using the author's last name. After the quote you will have to include the page number in a parenthetical/internal citation. For the closing sentence, make a final observation concerning the "whole" effect of the essay. Open by identifying the author’s main idea. Make strong, clear statements. For the personal response paragraph, you will need to make a personal observation/response to each essay, indicating if you agree or disagree and WHY. If you think the author's argument is flawed or the author is not doing a good job, explain why. If you agree, explain why. This paragraph needs to be at least five sentences long.
