  Prepare a separate summary “notecard” for each article. 1. At the top of the notecard, make a full and correct reference statement, using APA style, that identifies the article. 2. Then, in two or three sentences, identify the main thesis statement (i.e., the primary focus or main argument) of the article. 3. Once you have identified the main focus or argument of the paper, outline three or four major points made by the author(s) to support the thesis statement. 4. Finally, summarize, in one or two sentences, the conclusions drawn by the author(s). In developing your notecards, do not use direct quotations. Your job is to summarize and synthesize the materials from each article. Each “notecard”—including the full citation of the article should be approximately 250 words double- spaced Base Notecard 1 on the following reading: • Spelke, E. (2005).
