For this assignment, select a scholarly article about any of our assigned readings or about a topic
closely related to one of our assigned readings. You will write a one-page summary of the article
in which you state the author’s thesis and the way that thesis is supported. Remarks on the
article’s critical approach to its topic and/or of relevant secondary points would be appropriate,
as well. You may also wish to offer your assessment of the article and how it can serve to inform
our class discussions of our assigned readings.
Your selected article must come from either a peer-reviewed journal or a book of collected
scholarly essays published by a university press.
On your chosen date, you will read your summary to the class, and you will submit a copy of the
summary on Canvas.
Your summary must adhere to the MLA Handbook, 9th edition.
You do not need a separate Works Cited page. The title of your summary should be:
Summary of … (the bibliographic entry of the source as it would appear in a Works Cited page)
