Your Assignment:

This assignment is a one-paragraph summary of the  Stephen Marche’s “Why You Should Stop Yelling at Your Kids” (which is  linked to just below). The purpose of your summary is to capture a  concise yet comprehensive picture of the author’s argument for your  reader who is not familiar with the source; work hard at recreating the  argument concisely yet comprehensively in your own words.

Mini-Lesson: How to summarize a source that uses sources

You will see that Marche heavily uses  Dr. Kazdin as a source. You may be wondering how you summarize Kazdin’s  ideas as a part of Marche’s ideas. It’s really simple. Just keep  reminding yourself and your reader that Kazdin is Marche’s source. So,  rather than switching from naming Marche as the primary author to  Kazdin, you will switch to naming Kazdin as a source Marche uses to make  his argument. For example, you can use attributive tags such as the  following when you get to the Kazdin-part of Marche’s article:

  • “To give readers a solution to the problem of ineffective summaries, Sardoni introduces Dr. Nimmy Nair, a professor of…” 
  • “Sardoni presents Nair’s three principles for good summary writing to give students a map to…”
  • “Nair’s first principle, according to Sardoni, is…” 
  • “Nair’s principles allow Sardoni to persuade her audience that…” 

And so on. Keep the focus on  the primary author and his/her argument, including making it clear when  the primary author uses sources to support his/her argument. Does this make since? If not, post your questions in the Class Cafe.
