(2.5 – 3 pages) Article Summary & Critical Response

The Assignment

This assignment will have two parts:

I attached the article + full instruction and Sample

Part 1: The Summary.

The Summary

Summarize in 150-200 words the article your instructor has chosen from the assignment “Working at McDonald’s). In this summary, you should relay the article’s main points, completely and accurately, in your own words. If you find yourself in a situation in which the author’s words needed to be quoted directly (perhaps for emphasis), you must make it clear that these words are the author’s by using quotation marks appropriately. You will not want to quote anything over one sentence in length, and you will want to limit yourself to no more than 2-3 direct quotes, if you use any at all. Remember that the whole point of this portion of the assignment is for you to restate the author’s points objectively in your own words.

Part 2: Critical Response

Write a two-page (minimum of 400-500 words) response to the article “Working at McDonald’s”.

Before you even begin drafting, you will want to decide on the terms of your response. Once you decide on the terms (or grounds) of your response, you’ll want to figure out how you can support your points—using logic, outside evidence—whatever is appropriate. Your response cannot be based on simply your opinion about the issue.
