english summary paragraph

  • Do a self-review of your Paper #3 summary paragraph draft.
  • You’ll be re-submitting your summary paragraph, but with marginal notes that indicate your evaluation of the paragraph according to the grading criteria in the rubric.
  • Open the Paper #3 Grading Rubric (attached here and also posted in Week Fourteen) and evaluate your summary draft according to the criteria in the “Summary Paragraph” category and in the “Both Summary Paragraph & Application Paragraph” category.
  • Carefully review the summary and use the “Insert Comment” feature in Word to include your assessment of your paragraph for each criterion.
  • For instance, your first comment might be about the topic sentence. It could read: “Included TED Talk and speaker’s name; forgot to include year for APA citation. Big picture statement is probably too general.”
  • Include comments about what meets the requirements and looks good as well as what doesn’t meet the requirements and has room for improvement. A thorough self-review will be very useful to you in the revision process.
  • IMPORTANT: You have until April 26th to revise your summary according to the self-review that you’re submitting here. That’s when the Paper #3 final draft is due.
