JamboArticle Summary ( Do five article summary each one had one page summary)
Article/News summary homework will be assigned regularly. A various type of article will be given and you need to write a one page summary of the article. You may choose only one from the list of articles and/or news. The purpose of the assignment is to accurately describe the main point and the important details of the piece you are summarizing. In short, you are describing what the essay (or other piece of literature) is about to someone who has not read it focusing on Statistics.
· SUMMARIZE THE ARTICLE: In your OWN WORDS, write a summary of the article. If it begins with a “story”, concentrate on the factual information you gained from the article, rather than retelling of the story. Actually summarize information presented, don’t just list the topics presented. Do not include your opinions in this portion of the assignment. Label this part SUMMARY.
· REACT TO THE ARTICLE: After reading the article, write your reaction and explain the connection to you. Questions you might consider are....Did you like the article? Did you learn anything? Do you have an opinion about the issue? Would you recommend this article to someone else? How might the information you gained influence or impact you? Label this part REACTION.
The following are tips for summarizing:
· Read the essay as many times as necessary to gain a full understanding of it.
· Do not interject your personal opinion into any summary. No first person ("I" statements) are allowed (save these for the response portion, if there is one).
· After introducing the author with his/her full name, refer to him/her by last name throughout rest of summary.
· Always use present tense to discuss the essay and facts from the essay.
· Use direct quotes from the text or paraphrase examples to support your claims. Paraphrasing should be done more than quoting, which should be kept to a minimum. Quoting should only be used with unique language that is hard to paraphrase.
