one page summary assignment
You must turn in a journal entry for reading that indicates at the top of the page which reading it is (with the author, chapter number, and chapter title). A journal entry should be a one-page, single-spaced (it can be double-spaced if you have room), typed, summary and review of the reading in question. It should have two sections. In the first section, you should provide a brief synopsis of the reading that identifies the key themes, thesis, and key points. The second section should contain your evaluation of the readings. How does the reading connect with the discussion in the class or with other topics we cover? How does it connect with current events or actions of recent presidents? How does it relate to other things you know, have learned in this class or others? Try to keep each entry to single spaced page (to save the trees and to save your time and mine). Your grade will not be affected if you go over or under a single page as long as you fulfill the assignment as described above. Please print double sided if at all possible if a summary is over one page, and always staple multiple pages together. Citations: You do not need to cite the chapter you are summarizing in text. For the review, you should cite any outside sources you draw from, with a citation at the end or in a footnote. Included citations should be in APA format
