Summary Assignment

 

Write a (min) 400 - (max) 600 word summary of Janet Giltrow's Introduction to Min-Zhan Lu's article Conflict and Struggle: The Enemies or Preconditions of Basic Writing, in Academic Reading; reading and writing for the disciplines. 2nd. Edition.(pages 453-455.

 

Your summary should address this question: From Giltrow's position, what motivated Lu to review the research and write this article?

 

 

This assignment needs to include your notes for gist and a 'works cited' list and be completed on your journal page for Wed. 31st by 5 pm. Late assignments will lose 3 points a day.

 

 

 

Objectives: Write a summary which demonstrates:

 

 

1) your skills with using citation and reporting expressions in order to

attribute, characterize, and evaluate the sources you summarize.

 

2) your skills with positioning yourself in relation to the sources you are citing.

 

3) your ability to select and cite details and examples to ‘unpack’ abstractions.

 

Evaluation: My criteria for evaluation are:

 

 

1) completeness -- all of the above objectives need to be fulfilled to receive full points.

 

2) analysis -- your summary should demonstrate that you have approached your writing with a specific question in mind (remember, writing is a critical thinking tool).

 

 

3) writing skills -- I hope to read summaries that are carefully written, grammatically correct and with thoughtful attention for the skills and techniques we are learning in class.
