Article Review Structure and Format Guidelines

In order to help with the article review assignment, I have created a format or template to use in structuring your document. With the aid of the scoring guide, this template will allow you to piece together a quality summary of your selected article. To begin with you should open a word document. This will allow you to copy and paste information and help organization this information into its proper paragraph. Each article review should have a minimum of four paragraphs. The formats for each paragraph are as follows:

1st Paragraph
In this paragraph you should state which article you are summarizing and the author of the article. e!t, read the summary for the article on the main article page. "ead this summary and find out the main ideas within the paragraph. "estate this summary using your own words to be the body of the #st paragraph.

2nd and 3rd and maybe 4th paragraph

These paragraphs must address the main ideas of the article. "ead the article and highlight or copy the ideas which $stic% out& as important. arrow down these ideas into two or three main ideas. 'fter you copy and paste these ideas into a document, create spacing between each of the ideas. Then, within these spaces loo% for facts, quotes and(or e!amples which will help support the ideas. )nce this is completed you should have the structure for each of these paragraphs. ow all you have to do is write a few sentences to connect the main idea to the supporting information and the paragraph is complete*
