Reference (20 to 30 words) This section contains only the bibliographical reference for your article. Your reference should follow APA format exactly. See Extended Writing & Research Skills, Appendix 5, pp. 159-160 for examples of this formatting style. Section One: Article Summary (250 – 300 words) This section answers the question: What are the writers trying to say? This may be one or more paragraphs long. Use the Article Summary you wrote in Task 3. Section Two: Critical Evaluation (200 – 250 words) This section answers the question: How well do the writers explain their message? This may be one or more paragraphs long. Use the Critical Evaluation you wrote in Task 4. Section Three: Personal Reaction (100 – 150 words) This section gives your personal opinion about the article. It talks about how the information you gained was useful to YOU. It answers questions such as: Did you discover anything new or interesting in this article? How could you use what you learned from the article? Does this this information agree with what you have read before on this subject? And so on. Write this section after you assemble the first three parts of your review.

Notes: Maximum length is 700 words not counting the Heading Section. You will lose points if you write more than 700 words. Edit your work to be sure that it is 1) as short as possible; 2) always meaningful; 3) always clear and easy to understand. Check your work with Task 5 Checklist and the Article Review Rubric and before you submit your assignment. Ask a friend to check your assignment for you. Consider your friend’s advice carefully.
