Summary 1. Always begin with a sentence that gives us the basic information about the

article you are about to discuss: name of article, author’s name, where the article is found.

2. Main ideas. Quotes if needed. Proportional and balanced coverage. 3. No opinions or personal beliefs.

You will introduce the article and the idea you will be discussing prior to getting into the actual summary of the article. (Chapter 4, pg 84 - student submitted essay has a good introduction)

Rhetorical Critique Remember, here we are focusing on HOW the writer is delivering his or her message.

Rhetorical appeals that are used (by name: ethos, pathos, logos)

Ethos - HOW does the writer establish himself or herself as an expert?

Pathos - HOW does the writer emotionally impact readers?

Logos- HOW does the writer use statistics or facts to persuade readers?

Ideas Critique “A voice in the conversation”

Shift your focus to the idea being discussed in the article.

What are your thoughts on this?

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the author’s point(s)?

Reflection Optional

Only if you have personal experience with this issue.

How have you been impacted by this?

Otherwise, consider telling us your interest in this topic in your introduction and by wrapping it up in the conclusion.

Format You may choose to include section headings after your introduction.
