Journal Entry “\ufffd Summarizing. This week, you continue writing your journal entries. This journal is designed to give you practice in academic writing, which is very different from the personal essay writing that you have been practicing. Academic writing entails making a point and supporting that point with information from a reputable source. There are three ways to support a point with information from a source: quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing. This week, you will practice summarizing a source and citing that source in your journal entry. Please be sure to read and review the “Example Journal Entry “\ufffd Summarizing”\ufffd document, which describes how to integrate quotations.\tPlease note that the journal assignment should not be confused with a personal journal. This activity requires organization, effective stylistics and grammar, and proper source incorporation. It is not a free-writing or reflective writing exercise.\u00a0\tBoth of the personal essays we have read this week, “Fish Cheeks”\ufffd and “Consider the Lobster,”\ufffd use narrative and\/or descriptive elements (refer to sections 6.3 and 6.4 in the text), and each has a clear purpose.
