For our Do It Yourself (DIY), your first task this week is to write a 1-2 page casual summary of the article for Paper #1: "5 Practices for Nurturing Happiness" by Thich Nhat Hanh,lionsroar.com. This is for you to begin shaping your final paper. Tell me the article's main ideas and the memorable examples. Show me which two quotes stand out to you that you'll use for your final paper. This is **just a summary**, no personal response or critique of the material. This casual summary can be handwritten, and does not have to be typed, although doing so may help you get closer to writing the final paper. You can consider it one step toward a first draft of your Paper #1. After you understand and summarize the article, you'll know how to add your response/ critique to it!

You will basically be showing me your notes for the first three steps of taking good notes:

1. 1. 1. First re-read article, taking notes so I understand it
      2. Summarize each of the author's main points
      3. Find at least two exact quotes to use in my paper--with location of quote

For example a quote from paragraph 5 would appear like this in your formal paper:

The author reminds us that "the art of happiness is also the art of knowing how to suffer well" (Hanh par. 5).

LENGTH: ~1-2 pages, either handwritten or typed. Due Friday 9/9 by midnight.

**Remember the basic goals of a summary are listed in the 101A page--Intro: Article Response/ Critique on Happiness!
