I have uploaded the article that needs to be summarized. Needs to be 1-2 pages. 

The summary must be written in your own words. Do not use quotes in your summary. A summary should contain only the author’s views, so try to be as objective as possible. 

Include the following points for your summary: 

? In the introduction: What is the author’s purpose, or goal, or thesis? Why is she writing this article? What does she want to say? 

? What are the author’s methods or key points? How does the author go about making her points? What method is she using to conduct her study?

 ? What are the results, the findings?

 ? What are the conclusions? What does the author say about her findings? What are the implications of the results? What do the results mean for the field, for further research?

 Tips:

 ? Do not use quotes in your summary.

 ? A summary should contain only the author’s views, be as objective as possible.

 As you revise and edit your summary, compare it to the original and ask yourself:

 ? Have I rephrased the author’s words without changing their meaning?

 ? Have I restated the main idea and the supporting points accurately and in my own words?
