points in your abstract:
1) give a brief overview
of the content, focusing on the practical, controversial, or most interesting ideas
in the article;
2)
write your reaction (either positive or negative) to the ideas presented.

(Use this format as your heading for the abstract.)
Evaluation: Your

level of the article you choose and 2) by the quality of your presentation of
the ideas in the article (your writing style and mechanics).
