English Article Summary 150-200 WORDS

Please pay attention to the instructions as I will not pay for a work that PLAGIARIZES or FAILS TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTION. I will use software to check for plagiarism. No remodification of internet works/sources, present ORIGINAL WORK from the scratch.

Purpose:

Most of us use critical reading strategies everyday to effectively process all of the information we are consistently bombarded with.  This assignment allows you continue to explore ideas of reading and writing rhetorically, as you will use different strategies to write your summary and your strong response.

The Assignment:

In this unit, we will be focusing on Part 1, the Summary.

Summarize in 150-200 words the article your instructor has chosen from the assignment.  If you have the 9th edition, please use “Working at McDonald’s” on pages 280-283 (or pages 283-286 in the 8th edition). If you have the 7th edition, please use “Nickel and Dimed” on pages 270-273.  

In this summary, you should relay the article’s main points, completely and accurately, in your own words.  If you find yourself in a situation in which the author’s words needed to be quoted directly (perhaps for emphasis), you must make it clear that these words are the author’s by using quotation marks appropriately.  You will not want to quote anything over one sentence in length, and you will want to limit yourself to no more than 2-3 direct quotes, if you use any at all.  Remember that the whole point of this portion of the assignment is for you to restate the author’s points objectively in your own words.

In general, I recommend you structure your first sentence something like this:
