Re-Read the article “The Other Side is Not Dumb” by Sean Blanda and write a comprehensive summary and response. Make sure that you demonstrate to me that you have read the article and that you understand the authors’ purpose and message. Response pieces require writers to combine the skills of both subject and objective writing.
A SUMMARY OF THE WORKS
To develop the first part of the assignment, do the following:
Identify the author and title of the work
Write an informative summary of the material.
Condense the content of the work by highlighting its main points and key supporting points.
Summarize the material so that the reader gets a general sense of all key aspects of the original work.
Do not discuss in great detail any single aspect of the work, and do not neglect to mention other equally important points.
Also, keep the summary objective and factual. Do not include in the first part of the paper your personal reaction to the work; your subjective impression will form the basis of the second part of your paper.
YOUR REACTION TO THE WORK (Response)
To develop the second part of the assignment, do the following:
Focus on any or all of the following questions.
How is the assigned work related to ideas and concerns discussed in the course?
How is the work related to problems in our present-day world?
How is the material related to your life, experiences, feelings and ideas? For instance, what emotions did the work arouse in you?
Did the work increase your understanding of a particular issue? Did it change your perspective in any way?
Evaluate the merit of the work: the importance of its points, its accuracy, completeness, organization, and so on.
You should also indicate here whether or not you would recommend the work to others, and why.
POINTS OF CONSIDERATION WHEN PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
Apply the four basic standards of effective writing (unity, support, coherence, and clear, error-free sentences) when writing the assignment.
Support any general points you make or attitudes you express with specific reasons and details. Statements such as “I agree with many ideas in this article” or “I found the article very interesting” are meaningless without specific evidence that shows why you feel as you do.
Organize your material. Follow the basic plan of organization explained above: a summary of one paragraph for the article and a separate one paragraph for the response.
Edit your work carefully for errors in grammar, mechanics, punctuation, word use, and spelling.
Cite paraphrased or quoted material from the article you are writing about by using the appropriate MLA documentation.
Do not use quotations in the summary
