17. Brief Assignment #2  Due 9/12/14 at 11:59pm  THERE IS NO WORD COUNT.  Objective: To demonstrate your ability to summarize and paraphrase portions of a text.  Purpose: Summarizing and paraphrasing are important skills for academic writers. You will need to be able to condense other writers' ideas into your own words so that you can write research papers, analytical papers, argumentative papers, and other types of academic writing. In addition, summarizing and paraphrasing will help you prepare for the rhetorical analysis, where you will need to be able to succinctly state an author's purpose and discuss specific passages of an article. For this assignment, you will write both a summary and a paraphrase of a text. Use the discussion about summaries and paraphrases in Part 3, Section 12f 2&3 of The St. Martin’s Handbook to assist you in doing so.

To complete your article summary, select one of the articles from the list below OR use a different article chosen by your classroom instructor. Your summary of an article should follow the summary writing guidelines discussed in Section 12f 3.  Articles to summarize (all from First-Year Writing):  “The New Sovereignty,” Shelby Steele 450  “My Pedagogic Creed,” John Dewey 460  “The American Scholar,” Ralph Waldo Emerson 468

19. Brief Assignment #2  Description, Part Two, Paraphrase Assignment  After you’ve completed your summary, you will paraphrase a brief but complex passage from the same text. Your goal in this assignment is to restate the ideas of the passage in your own words and do so in a way that is readable and understandable. To complete this assignment, choose a passage from the texts above OR one selected by your instructor that is part of the text you summarized and paraphrase that passage. Identify the page number and paragraph number of the original passage (i.e. p. 205, paragraph 1) above your paraphrase so that your instructor can easily see the changes you have made to express the ideas of the passage in your own words.
