seem to be able to see humor in all areas – I use this allot and I look
to see humor In almost everything. When I was younger I wanted to do
stand up: I think I have always wanted to laugh and help others do the

of us ended up going out after the services and we laughed what seemed

some self inflicted some not. During the stressful moments I would go
to the gym and exhaust myself – it helps allot.

Drafting and Revising a Summary and Response Essay

In this unit, you will draw on the planning you performed in Unit 2 to write and revise a full, 2–3 page summary and response essay based on your understanding of, and responses to, one article from the List of Approved Articles for Writing. In Unit 2, you mapped out your summary and response points to your chosen article. In this unit, you will:

• Draft the full essay.
• Perform revision.
• Submit the final draft and revision statement for your Unit 3 assignment.

Your essay must include the integration of information from your chosen article in the form of quotations and paraphrases, all cited in correct APA style, in the text of your essay and in an end references page.

Be sure to note: every single time you integrate a direct quotation from the text, you must place quotation marks (” “) around it and include an in-text citation directly after the quotation, including author last name, year of publication, and page number. Also, it is absolutely necessary that every time you paraphrase (use information from the article but change it to your own wording) you change the wording significantly to avoid plagiarism. Directly after every paraphrase include an in-text citation, also to avoid plagiarism. In-text citations following paraphrases include just the author’s last name and the year. For instructions and examples related to in-text citation and end referencing of articles from your book, please refer to the Summary and Response Essay Sample, linked in the Resources. Also refer to the APA section of A Writer’s Reference, under Article or Chapter in an Edited Book or an Anthology, and/or to The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers, page 453, Work in an Anthology.
