Writing the Summary Paragraph (Summary-Response Essay)
A summary paragraph takes key information from a source text and condenses it in writing for the reader. It is structured like any paragraph in an academic essay: with a topic sentence and supporting information. A summary paragraph included the following:
- A restatement of the author’s main idea or a general introduction of the main idea
- Key supporting ideas from the text in your own words
- Details from the text such as examples and short quotes that support the main idea
Because the only goal of a summary paragraph is to help readers understand the author’s main points, it should not add any personal or unnecessary information. When writing a summary:
- Do not include your own opinions about the author’s ideas. Be objective. You will have an opportunity to give your opinion in the body paragraphs that come later in the essay.
- Do not include details from the source that are irrelevant.
- Do not use emotional language. Be neutral and avoid overly strong words.
In the following example, notice all the reporting verbs.
| Rosenbaum makes two points in his article. The first point is that the idea of content curation is misunderstood- or misused by people to sell things. He criticizes stores that use the term “curation”. According to Rosenbaum, these stores are not really curating because they are just creating collections of the same things. This is different from true content curation. Rosenbaum further states that content curation should be defined as creating “entirely new editorial works by finding, filtering, and contextualizing” information. He goes on to argue that this practice is critical now, as there is so much content on the Internet that it is overwhelming. He includes facts such as “every day, 50 million photos are uploaded to Facebook, 864,000 hours of video are uploaded to Youtube, and 294 billion emails are sent.” He asserts that this is too much information to process, and readers need help sorting through it. Content curation provides this help. Rosenbaum ends by saying that curation is a new critical role for journalists.

Writing the Introduction (Summary Response Essay)
The introductory paragraph presents readers with important background information about the article. Your readers might not have read the article, so you need to give credit to the author and provide enough context to help readers understand the topic and the author’s point of view. Include the following information:
- The author’s name and the title of the source text
- The author’s main idea in your own words
- Background information about the audience and purpose of the text.
- A thesis statement that states your response to the main idea(s) of the text.
| In his article, “Stop Knocking Curation,” Steven Rosenbaum argues that content curation is misunderstood and misused, and asserts that correct curation is invaluable for helping us process information on the internet. Content curation is the collection and organization of information on a topic or theme. One popular example is Pinterest, which allows people to share and collect information on all kinds of topics. While I agree with some of the author’s points to an extent, I feel that they could have been clearer, and included the point of view of the reader who is the user of content curation. |
