Why? Conclusion: 1. Reiterate thesis 2. Reiterate response 3. Leave reader with something new Thanks in advance, Zach.
What do you write about in a summary response paper?
In summary response papers, typically you want to write as if the person who is reading your paper has already read the book. Instead of summarizing everything that you have read, pick out one or two key features from the reading. For example, you could talk about the role of the repetition of certain words might play in a narrative, symbolism, etc. With those one or two features picked out, you want to tie those into your classroom discussion and how they pertain to the area of study you are involved. I wouldn't stray to more than one or two features since it is a one-to-two page paper. Good luck! :)
Title for a summary essay?!?
Seeing as you're not planning on analyzing this article any further than simply summarizing it, you only need to include the name of the article and the fact that you're summarizing it in the title. Example: "How Slim Got Huge: A Summary on the Article by Brian Winter"
Whats the difference between a critique and summary essay? explain in depth plz?
Writing Effective Summary and Response Essays The Summary: A summary is a concise paraphrase of all the main ideas in an essay. It cites the author and the title (usually in the first sentence); it contains the essay's thesis and supporting ideas; it may use direct quotation of forceful or concise statements of the author's ideas; it will NOT usually cite the author's examples or supporting details unless they are central to the main idea. Most summaries present the major points in the order that the author made them and continually refer back to the article being summarized (i.e. "Damon argues that ..." or "Goodman also points out that ... "). The summary should take up no more than one-third the length of the work being summarized. The Response: A response is a critique or evaluation of the author's essay. Unlike the summary, it is composed of YOUR opinions in relation to the article being summarized. It examines ideas that you agree or disagree with and identifies the essay's strengths and weaknesses in reasoning and logic, in quality of supporting examples, and in organization and style. A good response is persuasive; therefore, it should cite facts, examples, and personal experience that either refutes or supports the article you're responding to, depending on your stance.
