Paper details
Write a three to five sentence summary of the article. You will briefly summarize the article by stating the
main points in your own words in a few complete sentences (just enough to capture the gist of the article).
DO NOT include your opinion in the summary section of the report. A summary includes only information
that is contained in the article–it is not an essay.
4. Write at least a 300-word, double-spaced opinion section about the article. The Article Report should be
no longer than 600 words. You should provide your conclusions or opinions about the article. Validate your
opinions by citing what the textbook authors write. Your thoughts/opinion should only appear in the opinion
section.
5. The report must be in the correct format with all items completed, all information typed. The writing must
be correct with regard to grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. Central Texas College
adopted the Modern Language Association formats for use in all classes.
6. You MUST include the link to the working website where you obtained the copy of the article with the
completed Article Report.
7. Substantiate your answers with quotations from the text and article, and give a parenthetical citation. The
correct format would be (Author, 102). Do not forget to substantiate your answer with direct quotations from
the textbook. Do not cite a broad range of pages as the source for the answer. In other words, do not cite
pages 33-55; be specific. If there are no summary or text citations, there could be a substantial percent
deduction in your grade.
In this class, a student should directly quote material from the text to support the student’s opinion. The
quote should begin with quotation marks and end with closing quotation marks. Next comes the
parenthetical citation which identifies from which text the quote came and the page number. A Works Cited
section must be included in the Modern Language Association format
