Option #1: Writing Summaries: Frederick Douglass\u2019s \u201cEscape from Slavery\u201d<\/h4>\n

Summary is a natural place to start any writing activity that involves reading other texts. Summary is often used as a prewriting step to clarify the author\u2019s actual message and purpose. Often this involves active reading, highlighting passages, annotating in the margins, and rereading. It\u2019s very difficult to use someone else\u2019s words and ideas when you aren\u2019t certain what is really going on in the text.<\/p>\n

For this assignment, you are asked to compose an effective summary of the Frederick Douglass essay, \u201cEscape from Slavery.\u201d To help you compose an effective summary, please review the linked document \u201cHow to Write a Summary.\u201d Also, be sure to refer to the active reading strategies you reviewed and practiced in Module 1.<\/p>\n

Concepts to keep in mind when writing a successful summary:<\/p>\n

\n
• Summary Definition <\/strong>A summary provides a concisely expressed explanation of the selection’s content: what the author’s main points are, what particular methods the author uses, etc. Your focus in summary writing is always on the primary and main supporting points rather than on the details<\/em> of the text.<\/li>\n
• The text is objective<\/strong>: This means you should not editorialize or evaluate the text either by reading between the lines or judging the article as \u201cmasterful\u201d or \u201cinsulting,\u201d etc.<\/li>\n
• The text is in third person<\/strong>: For a brief summary like this, there is no reason for any \u201cI statements,\u201d such as \u201cI think he\u2019s saying\u2026\u201d or \u201cI believe\u2026\u201d etc.<\/li>\n
• The author is the subject in most, if not all, sentences<\/strong>. Remember: people, not articles, write, so avoid phrases such as \u201cThe article is saying\u2026\u201d Instead, start most sentences with subject\/verb like this: \u201cHeywood argues\u2026,\u201d \u201cThe author claims\u2026,\u201d \u201cShe supports her assertion with\u2026\u201d etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  \n
  • The summary is a minimum of 10 sentences long (maximum length is two pages), not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.<\/li>\n
  • You have maintained objectivity and refrained from passing judgment.<\/li>\n
  • The author, designated by last name only, is included throughout the summary.<\/li>\n
  • The first sentence includes the title of the article and the author\u2019s name.<\/li>\n
  • The text has been proofread for coherence, readability, and grammar errors.<\/li>\n
  • Your paper, including direct quotes, must be formatted according to APA format, using the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
