Article Review

===========================================================

1)  Goal (s)   – sometimes there can be more than one

What is the author attempting to do with the writing? What’s his/her overarching goal?

2) Objective (s) – sometimes there can be more than one

What else is author conveying to you in order to fulfill the goal?

3) Summary

• Write one paragraph summary about the article you read. It must include author’s name and title of article.

4) Key Points

Select 10 to 12 key points, that means information the author is providing the reader to prove his/her argument. Use your own words. Use bullet points for each key point.

5) Glossary

• When reading the articles, you will encounter words that are not familiar to you or are written in Spanish, therefore you must put attention and start a glossary or vocabulary of those words that you do not know the meaning of.  Also learning a new field or discipline requires learning a different nomenclature.

6) Conclusion

Write one paragraph indicating if author did a good job in providing evidence to you.  Did author make his/her point? Did it leave you with any unanswered or new questions? Include what’s your opinion of the article as well
