Learning to write a good summary will be one of the most important skills you learn in English 201. For this assignment you will read both the Mead and Barthes essays assigned for Thursday. You will then choose one of the essays and write a summary for it. Remember, before you write your summary, you must follow the critical reading method outlined in Behrens. This method requires you to mark on the text you choose to summarize: to make notes in the margins, identify key words, underline important passages, etc. Please review, carefully, the steps outlined in Behrens. Following these steps is key to completing this assignment successfully.
In order to receive credit for this assignment, you must not only post your summary as an Extract, you must also turn in your essay with markings to me on Thursday in class. If you give me an essay without markings, you won't receive credit for this assignment. If there are any questions, please let me know.
