Guidelines for Writing a Summary and Reaction to a Reading Article

This rubric outlines the criteria for summarizing and reacting to a reading article. The main idea and supporting details are essential components, with a focus on identifying the key message and gathering relevant details, including the five Ws (who, what, where, when, why). Students are instructed to write a summary in their own words, consisting of at least two paragraphs with 5-7 sentences each. Additionally, reactions should express personal thoughts, highlight new information learned, and make comparisons to related articles or events. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for the final class presentation.
