A précis is a special kind of summary that not only summarizes the main points or arguments that the author makes, but it also summarizes the major evidence used to develop those points and the secondary arguments that the author makes.You must write yours in your own words and in your own voice. This précis should be two full (but no more than two- and-a-half)double-spacedpages.
You should include afull bibliographic citationat the beginning of your précis, and use the opening two or three sentences tostate the author’s main idea or thesis. The rest of the précis shouldreconstruct the argument(s) for your reader, making sure to summarize all the evidence used to support the thesis. Remember, it is important to understandthe way the author makes the argument, not just what that argument is. In addition to summarizing the article, you willcomment on the thoroughnessof the article. You willidentify areasthat are complete and areas that might have been further developed (or where a researcher like you might have to look elsewhere to “fill in the blanks”). You will also need toexplain the intended audiencefor your article; was it written for a professional conference or to be included in a lay magazine? You may also want tocomment on the complexityof the article.
There will be further instruction in class.
