Essay write a summary the interview.
I’m trying to learn for my English class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
For this one-page assignment, please write a summary the interview. You should begin by reading the article once just to get a feel for the text. In your second reading, pay close attention to the key points. What is the overarching focus? What form does the article take? What sort of evidence does the interviewee include to support her ideas? What details are most important? Keep in mind that you are writing for your peers in an academic setting who are unfamiliar with the interview.
Remember, a summary is information that you present in your own words, but you are representing the words and ideas of another. Thus, a summary concisely discusses a text, extracts the main points or claims, and refrains from personal opinion. In other words, an effective summary accurately recounts the most essential claims of what “they say” without including your own “I say.”
Your essay should be written using APA format and citation style and include a References page. Moreover, for this assignment only, you are limited to one page of writing. [Since it is often hard to figure out how to cite an interview, I included a reference page in the modules that you can use.]
A successful summary will:
- have a clear thesis stating the material’s main idea.
- identify the reading’s major claims, assumptions, and supporting evidence.
- characterize the authors’ work fairly and accurately.
- include only the most important information, without unnecessary details.
- include some direct quotes and paraphrases.
- use appropriate sentences, word choice, and paragraph structure.
- be well organized and free of grammatical errors.
- Use APA format and include a References page
