Reading summaries should consist of two or three paragraphs and should include responses to the following questions:
1. What are the main issues the author addresses in the reading? What are the main point(s) the author argues?
2. What kinds of evidence does the author use to support the argument?
3. What are the key terms or concepts the author uses to describe the issues, and how are these terms defined? You
may list these with the definition the author gives, or if there is no definition, look it up.
4. Did you agree with the author’s point of view? Did you find the argument and the evidence convincing?
