The Process
To begin, you will need to read one of the following articles in our textbook, In Concert: Relationships 2.0: Dating and Relating in the Internet Age by Ted Sawchuck, pages 356-357 or Are You Hooked? by Leah McLaughlin, pages 137-140.
The Summary Section
Before writing your paragraph summarizing your selected article, be sure to prepare by completing the Summarizing and Paraphrasing topic in this weeks MyReadingLab and also by reading the Summarize and Paraphrase section in this weeks Lecture. The Lecture will help you to see how PIE can be used to write a focused academic summary.
The Reaction Section
Directly following your summary, write a paragraph responding to the argument presented by the author. In this response section, you can agree, disagree, challenge, or do all of the above. However, it is important that you continue to use PIE in order to provide one clear response, support it with an Illustration, and Explain your reasons. Again, the Lecture will help you to do this.
