  1. Summary

  2. Purpose and Audience • Purpose/Audience: Does the summary convince the reader that the writer has read the article closely and understands its argument? • Accuracy: Does the summary accurately represent the author’s thesis and reasons/key points? Does the summary contain misreadings? Does the summary omit key elements of the article?

  3. Purpose and Audience • Objectivity: Does the summary remain focused on fairly retelling the author’s main ideas? Has the summary writer included anything subjective (such as reactions, judgments, etc.)? Has the summary writer included minute details in addition to, or in place of, larger points?

  4. Conventions • Has the writer observed the academic conventions, or practices, of summary? • Attribution: Does the summary cite the author, title, date and publication of the article? Does the summary writer use author tags to that it remains clear that he/she is retelling the author’s ideas?

  5. Conventions • Quotes and Paraphrases: Does the summary contain both paraphrases and quotes? Are the paraphrased and quoted passages appropriately chosen? Are they well integrated into the summary?

  6. Conventions • Style: Has the writer maintained an objective tone throughout the summary? Is the summary carefully edited for clear communication?

  7. Summary Self-Workshop • This workshop will help you determine how well you have accomplished the goals of representing the writer’s argument both accurately and objectively.

  8. Directions • Underline the sentence(s) in which you have restated Glassner’s main argument. • Circle the author’s name and the title of chapter and/or book. • Put a star by each reason or key point. • Draw a box around each author tag. • Draw brackets [ ] around anything superfluous: any of your own opinions or reactions and/or minutiae from the article (evidence, anecdotes, etc).
