3-2-1 Summary Guidelines and Grading Rubric
General Instructions
Use all library databases available to you locate a current journal article (within the last 5 years)
on the posed topic to review.
Reading and Thinking:
Read the article SLOWLY. Don’t criticize anything just yet. Try to really understand the
author’s logic rather than questioning it.
Mark key points and transitions as you read. Try to isolate at least one central point in
each paragraph.
Review the introductory and closing sections closely. Think about how the author moves
from opening statements to conclusions via the body of the article.
Presentation:
Use Canva, Powtoon or Smore to present your findings.
Summarizing:
Summarize what the author does in the article. Sometimes the author explicitly gives
you his or her agenda in the introduction and/or in the conclusion. You should be able to
relay this in one or (maybe) two sentences.
Summarize the key ideas used by the author in achieving his or her agenda. Look at the
parts of the article you have marked. Try to indicate how the author progresses from
idea to idea in the article.
List important evidence used to support key ideas in the article. Indicate why the author
finds this evidence convincing.
3-2-1 Reflection:
What are three things you learned?
What are two things that are applicable to your current setting or are things you would
implement?
What lingering question does the article raise for you that requires further research?
Finalizing:
Proof your work. Try to use active verbs and concise modifiers.
Verify that your analysis would be helpful to someone who hadn’t read the article. Don’t
assume that your audience can intuit what you mean by anything.
