Summary Exercise

Review the sample passage as it appears on page 17 of Phil Sudo’s "Freedom of Hate Speech?" (Scholastic Update 124.14 (1992): 17-20) on reserve in the library.

Determine the main point of the passage as a whole and of each paragraph.

Restate the author's main points in your own words.

Remember that a summary is always shorter than the original passage.

Given that the ideas are from the source, even though they are presented in your own words, documentation is necessary.

We will discuss your findings in class.
