Steps in writing a summary of a text:
1) organize notes into an outline which includes main ideas and supporting points but no examples or details (dates,numbers,statistics)
2)write an introductory paragraph that begins with a frame, including an in-text citation of the source and the author as well as reporting verb (present tense) to introduce the main idea.
3) the main idea or argument needs to be included in the first sentence. Then, mention the major aspects/factors/reasons that are discussed in the article/lecture. Give a full reference for this citation at the end of the summary.
4) Support your topic sentence with the necessary reasons or arguments raised by the author/lecturer but omit all references to details, such as dates or statistics.
5)Use discourse markers that reflect the organization and controlling idea of the original.
6) Long summary, paraphrase the topic.

In the context of the text, what are the effects of prejudice? How has America's marginalization of minorities contributed to th
Reika [66]

Answer:

1. In the context of the text, prejudice leads to feelings of inferiority, inability to communicate effectively, and difficulty adjusting to new environments.

2. America's marginalization of minorities has brought about the development of different values in children raised in different communities/cultures. Different styles of communication learned by children classified as minorities, may be regarded as foreign or derogatory by the White people.

The rejection Eric Deggans faced from White parents who did not want their children associating with him because of his background is an example of how America's marginalization of minorities has caused a need for code-switching. Eric became more conscious of his environment and began adapting his language and speech accordingly.

Explanation:

Code-switching is the act of switching between languages in communication. In the American setting, this act is even much needed especially among the minorities because their style of communication differs from the predominantly white community.

While those who do not use this skill may view it as putting up an act, skilled users know that it is an important means of communication.
