Here is where you start typing up your summary or your response to any written assignment.  There is no need to use a title as you have already told me that this is your News Summary #____ or your Written Assignment #____.  You should, however, introduce your article by stating the title, author, medium from which it was selected (i.e., web page, news channel, newspaper, etc.) or your response to the prompt you were given.

Remember, you should always indent your paragraphs to indicate breaks in thoughts or topics.  Be sure that your work is double-spaced and in Times New Roman font 12 or such other similar font.  While this may not be an English class, your paragraphs should be well developed and grammatically correct.

All written assignments or news summaries are to be at least five (5) paragraphs long.  There is no need to have in-text citations unless you are using direct quotes.  Your news summary should not take up more than 2 pages of text.  For a written assignment, as these are your own thoughts on a particular subject, should not take up more than 3 pages of text.

Your news article summary should also include a paragraph that discusses how the news article corresponds to the topic for which it is being used (i.e., Legislative, Executive or Judicial Branch).  It is in this paragraph where you should make a connection to the branch of government for which you are using this article.  Does it discuss a particular office, agency, department, person, etc.?  What does their position or office encompass?

The citation of the article should be included at the end of the summary.  The citation does not have to be on a separate page unless it flows onto such a page due to the length of your assignment.  Again, be sure to use the APA style of citation for your news article.  The link will provide a more detailed review of the APA style:

This link directs you to the Owl Writing Lab at Purdue University.  Therein you will find specific examples for multiple writing styles.  (I have simplified the APA style to not include the running header or the abstract as these are short assignments.)  You can use this sample as a guide to write your summaries.
