Read the attached article on Diversity in the Classroom by Garibay. Follow the Article Summary Content Requirements and Formatting Requirements below. Also, view the Criteria for Article Summary attached.
Article Summary Content Requirements
In the first paragraph, introduce the article. Your introduction should include a description of the article’s purpose, audience, and significance. Why was the article written? Who was it written for? Why is it important / why did it need to be written?
In the second and third paragraphs, describe two key points from the article. The points can be something you think is particularly important or interesting; however, they should also be central to the article. You should summarize the key points in your own words. Don’t forget to use in-text citations when paraphrasing. For each point, provide sufficient detail to show that you truly understand the article.
In the final paragraph, describe what this article means to you. What experiences have you had with the topic? What do you take away from it?
Article Summary Formatting Requirements
Your critique must be typed in Microsoft Word, 12-point font, 1” margins on all sides, and double-spaced.
The summary should be between approximately 500-650 words.
No abstract is required; do not include a title page. Do not include a header or any other information on the summary page.
The summary must include references in APA format. The only source you should reference for the summary is the assigned article. Include in-text citations when needed and a reference list.
If you need help with APA formatting, you can consult the APA Resources Page in Blackboard, the APA Manual, the APA Website, or the Purdue OWL Website.
Use direct quotes sparingly. You are expected to summarize the article in your own words. By paraphrasing, you show that you truly understand the article. You will lose points if your summary primarily consists of quoted material.
