Explain the main idea and give an example from the textbook that demonstrates that you understand the idea. This paragraph should summarize the main topics you discussed. You may also include a self-reflection on what you learned or are still working on. Since you are usually given several days to work on this summary you are expected to do some pre-writing, editing, and rewriting to produce a high quality essay. Essays will be assessed using the four point rubric posted in the classroom.
Rubric scores correspond to letter grades.
However, graded essays will be dropped a full grade if they do not conform to these standards. You may not use a homework pass for this assignment and late assignments will not be accepted. You will be writing unit summaries for other units this semester. Please keep this sheet for future reference.
