Write a 500 - 750 (max, including work cited) summary on the article "’Men are Stuck’ in Gender Roles, Data
Suggest” by Emily Alpert Reyes, starting on page 275 of Ackley’s Perspectives on Contemporary Issues.
Read and take notes on the article, using the worksheet in the module to create one-sentence summaries of
each paragraph and organize them into sections. Note that you should NOT be quoting Reyes when you write
your summary. Read the student sample summary. Notice they do not quote the source! The key is to put it all
in your own words. If you need to preserve a word or two, you can use quotes, but no need to cite.
Check to be sure your summary meets the criteria of the rubic (below). Submit the summary to the dropbox in
Canvas by 11:59 on the due date.
The Process:
• Read, reread, and annotate.
• Write one-sentence summaries of each paragraph.
• Summarize each section of the essay.
• Include the primary supporting material provided by the author.
• Identify organizational choices and patterns.
• Check your section summaries against the original essay.
