I am having trouble summarizing this article into five paragraphs. My goal isn't to analyze the text I just need to summarize it. At the end of the first paragraph, state the author's thesis. Maintain a neutral tone; be objective, Keep your focus on the text. Don't state the author's ideas as if they are your own.

Details Required for Paragraphs: Paragraph 1 - Introduction Paragraph - Begin your essay with a hook/lead to generate interest among your audience. In the first or second sentence, state the author of the text and the title of the text. Then, provide additional information such as the name of the journal that published the text and the date the text was published. Close the introduction paragraph by stating the author's main point (their thesis). (Remember, summary not analysis!) Paragraph 2 - Body paragraph - Select a major point to focus on. Begin with a topic sentence that states one main point provided in the text. Support this topic sentence with details and examples that back up this point. Use in-text citations when including a direct quote. In this essay, include 1-2 direct quotes from the text. Introduce paraphrases, indirect quotes, and summarized phrases using a signal phrase. Use a transition sentence at the end of this paragraph. (Remember, summary not analysis!) Paragraph 3 - Body paragraph - Select a major point to focus on. Begin with a topic sentence that states one main point provided in the text. Support this topic sentence with details and examples that back up this point. Use in-text citations when including a direct quote. In this essay, include 1-2 direct quotes from the text. Introduce paraphrases, indirect quotes, and summarized phrases using a signal phrase. Use a transition sentence at the end of this paragraph. (Remember, summary not analysis!) Paragraph 4 - Body paragraph - Select a major point to focus on. Begin with a topic sentence that states one main point provided in the text. Support this topic sentence with details and examples that back up this point. Use in-text citations when including a direct quote. In this essay, include 1-2 direct quotes from the text. Introduce paraphrases, indirect quotes, and summarized phrases using a signal phrase. Use a transition sentence at the end of this paragraph. (Remember, summary not analysis!) Paragraph 5 - Conclusion paragraph - Wrap up the essay by restating the main idea. Drive home to the main point. Remind your readers of the most important information in your essay. (Remember, summary not analysis!

How a Blind Astronomer Found a Way to Hear the Stars 173 ers. I think that if we limit people with disabilities from participat- ing in science, we'll sever our links with history and with society. I dream of a level scientific playing field, where people encourage respect and respect each other, where people exchange strategies and discover together. If people with disabilities are allowed into the scientific field, an explosion, a huge titanic burst of knowledge will take place, I am sure. (Digital beeping sounds) That is the titanic burst. Thank you. (Applause)How a Blind Astronomer Found a Way to Hear the Stars Wanda Diaz-Merced First appeared as a TED Talk in February 2016. To watch the full ale visit bit.ly/38Lg7]w. Once there was a star. Like everything else, she was born, grew to be around thirty times the mass of our sun, and lived for a very long time Exactly how long, people cannot really tell. Just like everything in life she reached the end of her regular star days when her heart, the core of her life, exhausted its fuel. But that was no end. lig She transformed into a supernova, in the process releasing a or dep mendous amount of energy, outshining the rest of the galaxy and cut sity ting, in one second, the same amount of energy our sun will rekasi sity ten days. And she evolved into another role in our galaxy. ince Supernova explosions are very extreme, But the ones that car gamma rays are even more extreme. In the process of becoming !

The situation is systemic, and scientific fields are no keeping up. The body is something changeable-anyone may develop a disability at any point. Let's think about, for example, scientists tha are already at the top of their careers. What happens to them if they develop a disability? Will they feel excommunicated, as I did? Informa- tion access empowers us to flourish. It gives us equal opportunities to display our talents and choose what we want to do with our lives, based on interest and not based on potential barriers. When we give people the opportunity to succeed without limits, [it] will lead to personal fulfillment and a prospering life. And I think that the use of sound in astronomy is helping us achieve that and contribute to science. While other countries told me that the study of perception tech- niques in order to study astronomy data is not relevant to astronomy because there are no blind astronomers in the field, South Africa said, "We want people with disabilities to contribute to the field." Right now I'm working at the South African Astronomical Observatory, at the Office of Astronomy for Development. There, we are working on sonification techniques and analysis methods to impact the students of the Athlone School for the Blind. These students will be learning radio astronomy, and they will be learning the sonification methods in order to study astronomical events like huge ejections of energy from the sun, known as coronal mass ejections. What we learn with these students-these students have multiple disabilities and coping strate- gies that will be accommodated-what we learn with these students will directly impact the way things are being done at the professional level. I humbly call this "development." And this is happening right now. I think that science is for everyone. It belongs to the people, and it has to be available to everyone, because we are all natural explor
