Instructions for Critique/Summary Paper

Instructions for Summary Paper:
1. Cover page
2. Content page
3. Bibliography
You will be writing a paper critique of a story/book/movie.

The body of the paper needs to be 2 complete pages and no more than 3 pages (minimum 600 words) double-spaced typing; in lieu of direct quotes use in-text citations at the end of every paragraph revering to the information you pulled from the book/movie; must include a reference and title page in APA style (no abstract is needed, though), running head, header, and page numbers.

NO direct quotes; This is your Critique, not someone else.  This is not what was said and done in the story but a critique of what you think was accomplished.  You must write in your own words!  Do Not re-write a book or dialog in your own words.  Write about what the author accomplished not the character, you may make a point by summarizing what they said or did that was interesting or added to our knowledge and reference (cite) that paragraph with eg… “(John Doe, 2018)” at the end of the paragraph like this. (John Doe, 2018)

NOTE: It is critical for you to understand this is NOT a paper on how well you can copy and paste. You will fail this paper if you directly copy and paste sentences (and paragraphs) from a book critique or article. This is cheating and stealing other’s ideas, which will not be tolerated for this paper assignment. You must write in your own words (summarize) what you are reading, seeing or thinking. Please note it is not enough to change-out two or three words and call it your own sentence. Also, do NOT use any direct quotes.  And finally, this is a critique of someone else’s work and should not include your political or social beliefs you are however giving your opinion about the “Authors” work. 

things to consider in your critique, not necessarily in this order:

1. Does the book or film accurately portray scientific exploration?  You should be able to say “yes… but…” or “Not exactly because…”
2. What is the main ecological points(s) the author and filmmakers are trying to make? Point 1, point 2 etc.
3. What would you do if you were in the position of the main character?  (His broad situation)
4. In what way is extinction involved in this story?
5. Conclusions.  Taking into account what you already know, and what you have read and learned from the course text, did the author and filmmakers make their scientific point(s) clear?

Student 1:-ERIN M.-This chapter’s Nutrition in Practice it was discussed that researchers found vegetarians to be closer to a healthier body weight than meat eaters. One of the reasons this may be true is that a vegetarian diet can be generally lower in saturated fat. Consuming high amounts of saturated fats has many adverse side effects on the heart. Obesity can be found in some individuals who eat a vegetarian diet, especially in those who are consuming a high amount of fat. One of the best ways to monitor this is to make sure there is a variety of nutrients being consumed. If I were to switch to a vegetarian diet I would utilize either myplate, writing it down in a journal or a nutrition tracking app. If there is something missing or Im not eating enough, I would be able to see it in a tangible form. I also think the phrase eat the rainbow is very applicable to this. When I am preparing a meal I try to make sure there are always different colors to ensure I am getting a variety of nutrients.

Student 2:-BRITTNEY M.-Reading about Vegetarian Diets one of the health benefits is in relation to protein and by that I mean that is the diet may be generally low in saturated fat and are higher in fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals. Most vegetarians are healthier than non-vegetarians they have an advantage because of all the vitamins they consume. For parents who want their children to be vegan it can have some set backs because a child needs food to help support their growth over time. I personally won’t ever become a vegetarian because I enjoy burgers, pizza, and lasagna but all of this in moderation of course.
