Using instructor comments and the checklist revision assignment from Unit 2, revise your summary-response first draft and submit a final draft for a grade.

AS Description: Students will write a 750-1000 word summary-response on the same essay they completed their annotations on during Unit 1.
<
<
AS Instructions: Using the same essay you used to complete your annotations during Unit 1, please complete a 750-1000 word summary-response.
<
<
SUMMARY: Write an objective summary that outlines all the main points of the reading and includes any significant examples or important terms.
<
<
By convention, summaries open with a sentence that gives the main idea of the original source. This sentence also includes the author and title. After you use the author’s first and last name one time, just use his or her last name.
<
<
Assume your audience has not read the essay and needs a clear, accurate sense of its main ideas. You should not give your opinion on the ideas, nor distort or otherwise misrepresent them. As well, you may not list the points—they should be composed into a readable paragraph or two—or approximately 250 words. Signal phrases should be used to show that the ideas in the summary are not your own.
<
<
In the summary, you cannot quote from the reading and you must remain in the third person. The summary must be in your own words.
<
<
By “quote,” I mean using the exact same words as the original source, whether or not you put them in quotation marks. If you quote from the source, you will not receive credit for this part of the assignment.
<
<
RESPONSE: For the response section of the assignment, choose one idea from the text. Write a response where you complement (agree), complicate (agree, but), or challenge (disagree) those ideas. Start your response immediately after the summary. This portion will be approximately 500-750 words.
<
<
To build your response, you should have 3 pieces of evidence—an anecdote, an expert, facts/statistics. Please follow the paragraph model below.
<
<
• Statement of agreement/disagreement
<
• Explanation of your position
<
• Evidence 1/ Evidence 2/ Evidence 3
<
• Explanation of how the evidence connects to your position
<
<
You can use either the first or third person and you can quote from the reading in this section of the assignment. However, you should quote strategically. Quotations are most effective when they 1) show readers you are accurately presenting ideas from the original or 2) maintain an important stylistic element of the original. You should use signal phrases to indicate and introduce the quote. Excessive quoting will lower your grade.
