For this assignment, you will be revising your summaries that you wrote last week based on the concepts you learned about in Chapter 2 of They Say/I Say as well as any feedback I gave you. Further, make sure you review effective summary writing in the "Active Reading Strategies" handout from the Week 2 Module. It's important to avoid opinions and quotations in summaries. Finally, be sure to use transition words that connect the author's ideas in order to avoid "list summaries."

You must highlight all changes made to each summary. If you did not complete last week's summary assignment, then you should include a comment in your submission link that lets me know this is the first time you're submitting any summaries, and that's why there are no sentences in highlighted.

You must submit one MLA-formatted document (.doc, .docx, or .pdf) with 3 separate summaries (each should be one paragraph only) on the 3 op-ed pieces: "From Wasteland to Wonderland–TV's Altered Landscape," "Social Media Takes Television back in Time," and "New Twists for the TV Plot, as Viewer Habits Change." Each summary should be clearly labeled with the title of the article it is based on. Also, each summary should be between 125-200 words. Include the word count for each summary next to its respective title. Please keep in mind that this assignment, like all your assignments, will be submitted to a database which uses plagiarism-checking software; therefore, if parts of your summary are too close to the original text or another student's, the plagiarism database will detect this. Consider reviewing the Plagiarism Tutorial for more help preventing this issue.
