Content
The introduction introduces the content and issue without giving summary information and ends with a clear thesis statement that tells the name of the author and the title and main idea of the article. Only the main supporting points, important details and the author’s conclusion (final thoughts) are included in the summary (regardless of organization method). The summarized points are unbiased, without any interpretation or opinion from the writer. These points and details should be written in the writer’s own words and quoting should be minimal. The writer states his/her opinion to at least TWO ideas from the article which are clearly introduced using a quote or paraphrase. The writer uses relevant personal experiences or evidence from other reading to support his/her opinion. The writer clearly analyzes the idea and support by making connections beyond the obvious. The writer shows an accurate understanding of the ideas from the article in both summarizing and responding.
