Document Summary

You must pick one of three readings from the following: martin, kirsch or mccutcheon Be sure to identify which reading you have chosen. The summary and critique is 5 pages long. Part of the point of the assignment is to summarize and critique succinctly. Don"t underestimate the challenge of summarizing a source, it may seem straightforward, but it is fairly difficult. The summary should cover both the main thesis of the source and three or more of the main points of the argument. My lecture summaries are examples of what you are shooting for, but in written form rather than in point form summary. Make sure you clearly identify the main argument and several supporting arguments, and make sure to do more than just quote your source, any source quotation should be explained in the summary. The critique is a bit tougher, but again, this is part of the challenge of the assignment.
