Overview

When you use sources in your paper, you will need to either quote, paraphrase, or summarize the information. Summaries are used for longer passages; they provide a brief, overview of the source, using new and unique phrasing.

Prompt

Using 3 to 4 sentences, summarize the document you have selected from the library guide.

Note: Remember to cite any works you use in your assignment. You will not be graded on the citations; the purpose is just to make certain you are practicing using citations.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

• Summarize the source in three to four sentences.
• Clearly reference the author’s ideas using your own words.

Guidelines for Submission

Save your work in a Word document and include a page with references. It must be written in format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
