This assignment is a one-paragraph summary of the  Jeff Jacoby’s “Bring Back Flogging” (which is linked to just below). The  purpose of your summary is to capture a concise yet comprehensive  picture of the author’s argument for your reader who is not familiar  with the source; work hard at recreating the argument concisely yet  comprehensively in your own words.

• Requirements:
• Formatted to MLA Guidelines
• One Paragraph
• 200-250 words long (or 20-25% of the sources length)
• Saved and posted as a DOC or DOCX file
• Begin with a sentence that identifies     
  • the author by full name, the author’s credentials, the name of  the article/speech, the name of the publication, and the year the source  was published.
• In every sentence following the first sentence, use attributive tags to attribute the ideas to the author:     
  • use the author’s last name or he/she
  • and use phrases such as “according to” and precise signal verbs.
• Use transitions and other signposts to show the relationship  between the ideas, capturing the structure and flow of the source’s  ideas.
• Use quotations sparingly, if at all.
• Represent the source’s ideas accurately, fairly, objectively, and comprehensively yet concisely.
