Reading Summary Assignment
Instructions
1.
Each
summary must be at least (1.5 to 2 pages).
2.
All Learn
materials
from each module must be synthesized and include the integration of the key
points gained from the Learn material.
3.
All required
reading sources
for each module must be cited in current
APA style. The use of outside peer-reviewed sources is optional.
4.
Each summary must include:
(a)
Integration of the Fiske & Taylor’s
text chapter(s), Hamilton’s chapter(s), journal article(s), and presentation as
indicated by each Module: Week.
(b)
The
summary should include 3 Sections:
(i)
Introduction: This should be an overall summary of the Learn
material (1-2 paragraphs).
(ii)
Body: Three paragraphs, each with a major theme supported
by several of
the sources. Incorporate at least 3-5 major points that are
related across all
sources in the
Learn material for the assigned Module: Week. Each of these
paragraphs should
have a minimum of 2 SOURCES cited in
each paragraph.
**This will
ensure the integrating of information, rather than an independent
summary of
each source.
(iii) Conclusion: This
paragraph wraps up and summarizes the major themes
introduced in the body of
the summary. Avoid introducing new ideas
and
refrain from redundancy.
Format:
Each summary must
be in current APA format and
include:
(a)
Title
page, 1.5 to 2 pages of content and reference page(s).
(b)
Use
subheadings (i.e., Introduction, Summary Themes, Conclusion, etc.).
(c)
For
the body, synthesize the reading into a coherent narrative. Use transition
statements as you move from one main theme to the next.
(d)
Avoid
first and second-person pronouns, and be sure to use past tense when describing
completed research.
