1 Week 2 Research Notebook Summary and Analysis Activity Each week you will have an opportunity to practice different aspects of the research and writing process in a research notebook. It consists of a template you will fill out and submit in Canvas. In addition to introducing and practicing targeted components of the research and writing process, these notebooks will help you develop and practice the skills you will demonstrate on your other assignments. This week, the research notebook focuses on summarizing and analyzing sources. Review the following resources first:  Writing a Summary  Summary vs. Analysis To summarize is to take ideas and present them again in a more concise way. But to analyze is to reach your own conclusions about how the elements of a topic, theory, issue, or story fit together to create something that may not be evident at first glance. Your written assignment this week, the Source Critique Essay, asks you to engage with one source. Here, you’ll practice the different steps and stages to building a successful critique using summary and analysis. STEP ONE: Writing a Summary A summary is a short objective overview of the main ideas of a larger work. It includes only the broader points or purpose of a work rather than the details or smaller plot points. You can think of a summary as how you might boil down the main points of an article to describe it to other people. Using the article that will be the focus for your Week 2 Written Assignment, restate the main idea of the article. Different types of treatment for mental illness ENG122 Week 2 Research Notebook

2 Now, break down the main points. Remember, these are just the main points that support the main idea, without any examples or evidence. Medication vs therapy This roadmap will help you develop the required material for your Week2 Written Assignment. Remember that to write a summary, you should include all of the main points or ideas in the work but avoid smaller details or ideas. Your summary should be written using your own words and will present the main ideas objectively, avoiding your own opinion and thoughts about the work. STEP TWO: Analyzing the Information Analysis means breaking something down into its various elements and then asking critical thinking questions in order to reach some conclusions of your own. When asked to write an analysis, you must also add your own understanding of what you’ve discovered about your topic. What’s your reaction to the information revealed in the article? Was it surprising, or did it align with your own previous understanding of the topic? The information that I received was not as surprising with the understanding that I already have yet I did learn a few things. I have a broad understanding already due to my own experience with psychologists and psychiatrists but some of the things I read was different than what I was told in the past. What information from the article do you think is the most important? Why? The most important information from this article in my opinion, is how it states the different types of mental illness and the specific treatments that are known to work the best instead of just simplifying all the illnesses into one category. Along with at the end of the article saying how each person is different and treatments will vary depending on the person and case. STEP THREE: Pulling It Together ENG122 Week 2 Research Notebook
