Critical Summary
Hi All,
For March 7, you have an Annotated Works Cited due. What you need to do is conduct your research, then summarize the main argument of it, i.e., the thesis and then critique it/evaluate it. Please use the instructions found on Moodle for a Critical Summary. Aim for minimum 150-200 words, three to four sentences, but you can go longer if you need to. You will be using this work directly in your proposal/presentation, so you are not doing extra work.
What you are aiming for is putting the main argument of your sources in your own words—this original interpretation is the key aspect—and then critiquing it briefly. Copying from the abstract is plagiarism and you will fail the assignment.
Please format your Works Cited properly to current MLA standards. For those using an Article Database, please see the first two examples below.
Once you have the correct format for your minimum three academic sources, put the annotation (summary) sentence(s) below each source. See below for where to put these. Do not submit with your summaries highlighted.
Please do the best job you can as in doing so you will have completed two parts of your final assignment: the summaries which will be integrated into your text, and the Works Cited.
Thanks, and good luck researching.
