a) You are to re-present the ideas in the readings back by explaining them in your own words or by
citing the author directly. A combination of both is the best technique.
b) In addition to repeating the main ideas you are asked to add your own thoughts by discussing why
you feel the ideas are interesting or important or how you feel they relate to issues in our society.
All good pieces of writing have a defined structure and clear organization and flow of ideas. Just like
when you are telling a story to a friend you start at the beginning and then give details to explain further
– good writing is the same way, it must flow logically, and begin with the same points that the author
begins with. The text should be 12-point font single-spaced with standard margins.
Begin the summary by stating in a sentence or two
– what the article is about,
– what the author is saying in general, and
– what issues are being discussed
Try to explain in your own words what the main ideas are. You can paraphrase and quote directly but
be sure to cite properly or it is considered plagiarism!*
When you quote an article simply do the following: As Bales states, “modern slavery is characterized
by…” (Robbins, 2005: 13). All of the bibliographic information you need for citations is contained in your
course reading pack.
