The second Precis must be # sentences long as well on “ The Case For Letting Malibu Burn” Article
[NOTE: This structure MUST be followed in the preparation of each précis]
1. Begin a précis by identifying both the author and the idea in the first sentence. This is accomplished as follows:
a. Identify the author and the full title of the work;
b. Use an appropriate verb (such as “asserts,” “argues,” “denies,” “refutes,” “proves,” disproves,” etc.) followed by;
c. A clause that identifies the major claim (thesis statement) of the work. For example: “The instructor explains in the syllabus that a précis should follow a three sentence model.”
2. In a second sentence explain how the author develops or supports the major claim (thesis statement). For example: “In developing the argument, the instructor argues that the three
4 sentence model narrows the focus of reading to allow for the better identification of the main ideas and key points in the text.”
3. In a third and last sentence state the author’s purpose in writing the piece, using an “in order” phrase to be explicit. For example: “The author of the syllabus developed this model in order to help improve the critical reading and analytical writing skills of students.”
