briefly summarize the main points of the reading in two paragraphs along with a concluding question
For discussion of chapters, please briefly summarize the main points of the reading in two paragraphs along with a concluding question. The first paragraph will be a summary of the concepts and main points. In your introductory paragraph you have the opportunity to discuss a wide variety of topics. Ground your summary around one primary concept. Your second paragraph will directly cite one passage or sentence (highlight the quote in italics and cite the page number) from the reading that stood out to you as very important, followed by your reaction to that statement. Describe how this passage captures the author’s argument, followed up with your thoughts on its significance. Finally, I would like you to pose a question (in bold text) you have from the reading that will be shared with your classmates to provoke discussion.You will post these summaries by 11:59PM on assigned days and your response should be between 300-400 words, have no grammatical errors, and end with one new question for group discussion. Each paragraph should consist of at least 5-6 sentences. A good discussion summary will briefly summarize the text and still avoid a narrow focus. In that regard, you will describe the main topics and concepts of the reading without merely copying key sentences. The summary information you provide will help your group and classmates better understand the primary concepts of the reading. You will demonstrate that you have read, understood, and reflected on the material assigned.
