use this article : “Failure is Good” by Augustin Fuentes. (write a summary about it)
rubric
To achieve your purpose with your audience, use the following strategies in your summary:
Introduce the text in the beginning of your summary so your readers know which text you are
summarizing. Include the author’s name, the date of publication, and the publication title within the first
few sentences;
Focus on the writer’s argument by reporting the thesis and key points—NOT just what the article is
“about.” Stating the general topic isn’t helpful when someone who hasn’t read the article is trying to
understand it. Show that you understand the “big picture”—the writer’s (or writers’) purpose and how he
or she supports it.
Avoid giving examples and evidence that are too specific to maintain the focus of the overall argument of
the article. Feel free to generalize about types of evidence, kinds of examples, and rhetorical strategies used
by the authors to support their argument;
Use author tags so that your reader understands that you are reporting authors’ ideas;
Carefully choose and accurately attribute material from the argument by effectively quoting and
paraphrasing the ideas;
Select one well-chosen, supporting quote from the original article to include in each summary you write;
Use an objective tone.
