If your still having problems putting togethyer a quality Article Review, look at this template again...

Article Review Template


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.  Next, read the summary for the article on the main article page. (The page you are directed to after you click on this weeks articles). 
Read this summary and find out the main ideas within the paragraph.  Restate this summary using your own words to be the body of the 1st paragraph.

2nd and 3rd and maybe 4th paragraph

These paragraphs must address the main ideas of the article.  Read the article and highlight or copy the ideas which “stick out” as important. Narrow down these ideas into two or three main ideas.  After you copy and paste these ideas into a document, create spacing between each of the ideas.  Then, within these spaces look for facts, quotes and/or examples which will help support the ideas.  Once this is completed you should have the structure for each of these paragraphs. Now all you have to do is write a few sentences to connect the main idea to the supporting information and the paragraph is complete!

Summary Paragraph

In this paragraph you should explain why you chose this article.  Then, give your opinion as to what you feel you learned from this article.  Also, express how the information in the article changed or added to your knowledge about the subject.  Finally, how will this knowledge help with having a better understanding of this subject in the future?
