Summary


For this assignment, you will choose from one of the following articles.

Once you have chosen an article, you will write a 250  word (maximum)  informative abstract.  Remember that the informative abstract must be understandable to readers unfamiliar with the original source. The purpose of the informative abstract is to provide the same information as the original, often for a less technically adept audience. For this assignment, assume your audience members are interested non-experts.
