Introductory Paragraph
Your introduction must include the following three things. (They can be combined into complex sentences):
One sentence introducing the title, author, date, and source of the article.
One sentence statement of the topic or question being addressed.
One or two sentences summarizing the author’s main message. (Overall, what does the article say?)
Body Paragraphs
Develop your summary in short paragraphs. Generally, you should use one short paragraph for each of the key points, but these can be combined.
For each paragraph on a key point:
Describe the content of the point.
Indicate its function in the article as a whole.
Use language of attribution.
Use transitions between points to capture the logical development of the author’s discussion.
