Read the article and write a complete, one-page summary of the article, making sure to identify the specific argument the author is making. Include the complete citation at the top of your summary.

First peoples: Study finds two ancient ancestries “reconverged” with settling of South America (p. 35–). (2018). NewsRX LLC.

When you finish writing your summary please answer the following three questions, and write a one paragraph answer to each question.

1-When you look at a website on the internet, what steps do you go through to determine what the primary purpose of the site is? What do you look for? How can you tell if a website is a reliable source on that topic?

2-If you were going to begin a database search on the topic of the relationship between individualism and the portrait genre, what search terms would you use? What are the most significant terms here—the ones you could NOT leave out? If you searched “individualism” would this be sufficient?

3-When you are using a source, do you need to cite the source if you put the information into your own words? Define and explain plagiarism, and discuss the correct way to use information from a secondary source.

How to Write a Summary of a Scholarly Article

The goal is to write a short summary of an academic article, to identify the scholar’s argument, to figure out the main point, to give your reader (and yourself, later on) a sense of the steps of the argument, to paraphrase the argument in your own words, and to produce something that represents the article you just read.

Why write a summary?

A summary is important so you can go back later (in a few weeks or so when you actually have to write the final paper) and read short one-page summaries of the articles instead of reading the entire, long article again.

A summary requires you to distance yourself from the author of the work you are reading. You say “the author argues” this or that, rather than “Women in the French Revolution were” this or that. This move is essential in academic writing. More on that later.

Writing a summary enables you to remember the main point that the author is making in the article. It forces you to find it. The first time you do one of these is the most difficult, but it's worth it academically. You are learning a new and valuable skill that should grow with every class you take.

How to proceed

Choose a peer-reviewed scholarly article. Do NOT use a book for this assignment. Work with the librarians who will help you find good databases and help you develop good search terms.

It is a good idea to make a Xerox copy of it or print it out. This is your copy to mark up, underline, highlight, tear to pieces, all the things you should do when you read an article.

Underline topic sentences, go back and forth from section to section, and read the introduction and conclusion as you work through this article. If you read it once, that is just beginning. If you read it twice, you MAY begin to get a handle on it. If you read it more than twice, at least parts of it, you will have an easier time with this.

Write down what you think the purpose, the audience, the language, the presentation, and the evidence is for the argument. What kind of discipline is the author working in? What are the examples that she/he uses to make her/his points? Is there any specialized jargon? This is for you, don’t hand this in. This is pre-writing.

Identify the sentence where the author states the main claim of the argument.

Make a list of the examples, data, or forms of support that the writer uses to back up the claim.

Describe the structure of the article—how many sections are there? How is it laid out? What is the main focus and purpose of each section of the argument? How does the writer advance the argument in a logical sequence?

Develop these notes into one-page summary of the argument. This is what you will submit for the Week One assignment.

Quotes: You may quote phrases of no more than one sentence at a time. Do not use long quotations in summaries. Write in your own words.

Representation: Your summary should accurately represent the article. This is not the place to express your opinion, your evaluation, your interpretation of the material into this. Save that for later.

Present tense: Use present tense. “The author says” or “Campbell uses these examples” are two good ways to start sentences in a summary.

Be sure to use either MLA or APA style.
