Follow the instructions from the attached paper. Article Summary Summarize an article that you will use as research for your essay. The article must come from one of ENMU's databases, and you must identify the name of the database. Page length: 2 pages, typed, Times New Roman 12 pt font, Double Spaced Attach a copy of the article you are summarizing - The goal of writing a summary of an article, a chapter, or a book is to offer as accurately as possible the full sense of the original, but in a more condensed form. A summary restates the author's main point, purpose, intent, and supporting details in your own words. - First, try to find the main idea in the reading; it's usually in the first paragraph. Next, skim through the article, glancing at any headings and graphics. Then, read the conclusion. The intent here is both to give a review of the work and to effectively engage with it. - Note the supporting elements the author uses to explain or back up her/his main information or claim. - Write the summary, making sure to state the author's name and the title of the article in the first sentence. Present the main idea, followed by the supporting points. The remainder of your summary should focus on how the author supports, defines, and/or illustrates that main idea. At this point the summary should contain only the author's views, so try to be as objective as possible. Do not use first person. - Ask yourself questions such as: Have I rephrased the author's words without changing the meaning? Have I restated the main idea and the supporting points accurately and in my own words, but done so in a scholarly tone? - The last paragraph should include a critique. This is the only place in the summary that you may use the personal ‘I'. You may want to ask yourself questions such as: Does the author succeed? How and why or why not? What are the strengths, weaknesses? Why? What did the author do well? Not well? Why?
