    Summary Response Assignment

     2-3 pages typed (no more)


     will consist of an introduction, a summary (which excludes your opinion) a
    response portion which is your opinion, and a conclusion.
     MLA format:

    Double-spaced in the upper left hand corner:

    Your Name
    English class
    Instructor: G. Ovenden
    Assignment (Narrative Essay, for example)
    Date
    Draft One (or Two or Three)

    Use Page Numbers in the upper right hand corner

    Double-spaced throughout, 12 point font

    Title is Capitalized Correctly in the Center of the Page Like This

    Consider these elements when writing the essay:

    The Introduction will


    * Present the title of the article and the author
    * A very brief bit of information on the author to establish the author's
    credibility or authority on the topic
    * The author's main point for the essay

    The Summary portion will


    * Present the main points of the essay. It will brief, but to the point. It will
    be accurate and objective. You may quote directly from the text, but do so
    sparingly. You do not want the entire summary to be only quotations. Do not
    provide the author's supporting evidence; it is not necessary in a summary.

    The Response portion will

    * Present your reaction to the reading. You can respond in one of three
    different ways.

     You can agree or disagree with the author's main idea


     You can offer an interpretation of the text; what you believe the author's
    text means
     You can write an analysis of the text by discussing the quality of writing,
    the strength of the argument, and quality of evidence
    Additionally for the response, remember to include your proof and evidence to
    support your reasons based on your life experience and knowledge. Remember
    the response is your reaction to the text; and while it is your opinion, you will
    provide proof to support your reaction

    The conclusion will bring the essay to a satisfying end with one final statement
    about the value or worthiness of the text (or lack of)

    Reminders:
     As you write the essay, be sure to include these items
     Author tags to introduce author's quotations and to refer the author’s
    points as you both summarize and respond.
     Use tags such as "Bell writes" or "Garner believes". Do avoid writing "says"
    or "said". Find good synonyms to replace these overused author tags.

    Provide adequate transitions to move from one point to the next: "Another point
    Angelo makes" or "the final point of the essay"
