1. Reference: List the source on this slide. Use APA style. See general instructions slide for how to. 2. Summary: In your own words, summarize the article. Do NOT just paste the published abstract.

Use simple words to show you know what you are talking about—don’t just repeat jargon from article. Specifically: a. Background: Describe background information and why the authors did the study (in the

article's Introduction). Write a minimum of 2 sentences. Give page numbers. b. Method: Describe sample and methods: Who did the authors study? What did they do?

Write a minimum of 2 sentences. Give page numbers where you found this information. c. Results: Describe results and author’s conclusions: what did they discover? Write a minimum

of 1 sentence. Give page numbers where you found this information. 3. Comment: In your own words, offer one thoughtful comment, critique, connection, or “I

wonder” question. Don’t just state how the article made you feel—be specific and reflective. Write a minimum of 2 sentences.

Empirical Article (Published Abstract) > Delete these instructions before typing.

• Copy and paste the article’s published abstract into this slide

• The previous slide asks you to use your own words to summarize as well as comment on the article. Having the abstract pasted in its own slide will allow interested readers to refer to the author’s summary of their work (as opposed to the reflection you provided in your own words). It will also make it easier for your professor to check your understanding.

• No credit for the empirical article slide without the published abstract.
