1. Using the Internet or library as a resource, find an academic article related to your research manuscript topic. Once you have found an article, copy it into a Microsoft Word document. 

2. Using the “Track Changes” tool in Microsoft Word, annotate your article. Look at the points the author makes and any rationale that is provided to back up the main ideas (you may underline, bold, or comment to indicate these). You may also want to note any particular passages that you think are important

4. Write a summary (250-350 words) of the article.
