In defense of prejudice


Paper instructions:
Write an academic summary of Rauch’s “In Defense of Prejudice.” You will need to read to make sure you understand the writer’s point/thesis. In drafting and revising your assignment, remember that a summary is a compressed version of an original text, based on the observations, connections and inferences you make through close reading and annotation. Your goal is to communicate the gist of the writer’s main point, and to recognize his ideas based on connecting his points. Do not follow the organization of Rauch’s original essay. Your intro paragraph should include all his main points. Then, organize the body paragraphs of your summary by paraphrasing and moving from the most important, largest idea and ending with the least important. Also do not include your own opinions and ideas. No commentary or evaluation allowed in summary
