Give a 4-8 sentence summary of the article (note: this does not mean list out 4-8 facts from the article, I’m looking for a full summary here). This should not repeat your source’s words, nor should it paraphrase your source’s sentences; while it needs to include specific facts from your source, I am looking for a summary of your understanding of what the story said. Your first 1-3 sentences should summarize the overall message of your story, and the remaining sentences should point to the most important facts that backup and add clarity to your summary. Remember that this is about bringing something new to the table. Don’t summarize our course materials here; summarize the parts of your news story that will add something new to the discussion.
