You must complete the following summary work for EACH of your three sources:

1) Read the source or if it is a movie watch it.
2) After two or three paragraphs, write a one or two sentence summary. Or after five or ten minutes of the film, write the short summary.
3) Remember to make this summary work for you. Write summaries that have enough information to help you in your paper.
4) Write specific facts from the article that you can use in your paper.

This may be written in pen or typed. Clearly write the citation of each source before the summary.

First Paragraph POV- Due October 6th
