Q Directions 1. Read The Life You Can Save (Links to an external site.) by Peter Singer Chapters 9 & 10. 2. Write a 1 page double-spaced summary of these chapters; organize it however you want, as long as you cover the main points of all chapters. 3. This is a summary, not a persuasive essay, so you do not need a thesis. However, every summary should mention the title and author of the book at the beginning so readers know your subject. Use sample reading summary as a guideline. 4. You can reflect on your opinions about the book and the author's ideas, but make sure you first adequately summarize the author's points in your own words. The summary should be at least 80% summary and no more than 20% personal opinion. Don't overthink this assignment; its main goal is to show me you read the material. Summarize in your own words, so no need to add any citations. Grading Requirements • The assignment includes a summary/reflection and MLA format criteria related to the assignment.
