Write a one-paragraph summary in which you identify the main argument for EACH of the assigned speeches. Your final submission should include three individual summaries. Remember, a summary presents the main essence of the original essay, which will include the essay’s central argument as well as a general overview of its supporting ideas. Remember that a summary does not focus on the specific details, the anecdotal, nor does it include your opinion.
Within the one-paragraph summary, you will need to provide a paraphrase for one of the essay’s most critical passages (this will be subjective; I assign this knowing different students will choose different passages). Your paraphrase should be shorter than the passage you select. Provide proper MLA citation for this paraphrase.
You will also need to include one quote that you think is striking and relevant within the summary. This quote should be relevant to the information presented in the summary. Just because it is in the speech does not make it relevant. Do your best to integrate the quote in an effective manner.
TO BE CLEAR YOU WILL WRITE THREE TOTAL PARAGRAPHS ONE FOR EACH SPEECH. EACH PARAGRAPH WILL HAVE A SUMMARY, PARAPHRASE, AND QUOTE
