summary

Now that you have chosen a text to analyze for project 1, read it carefully and take notes. In your notes, make sure to write down what the author's thesis/main argument is (their position toward English as a global language), what supporting ideas they offer, and the evidence they use (facts, statistics, reasons, etc.). Then read the section Summary Writing (https://writingcommons.org/section/writing-with-sources/summary-evaluation-synthesis/). from this short article. After reading the section on writing a summary, review your notes and write a 200-250 word summary of the text. Make sure to include the following in your summary:

• type of source (article, book, website, etc.)
• name of the author
• the main claim/main idea/most important part of the article
