06 - Summary of an Issue

Without inserting any of your own opinion or bias, write an objective summary of at least three articles on the same topic that relate to innovations in science. Provide the article's overall theme or message. You will also want to make certain that what you include are all statements of fact and not other assertions from even the author of the article. Consider going outside of traditional news sources for your articles. You may want to try something like Discover, Popular Science, or other sources to find more engaging and entertaining writing.

When you are finished include a response to these questions at the end of your submission:

  • In what ways is this type of writing different from what you normally write?

  • How does not being able to include your opinions on a topic change how you write about it?
