1. An APA/MLA/Chicago reference for the article – basically, let your professor know how to find it if I want to read it.
2. A brief summary of the main points that the author made in the article.
3. An analysis of the article. Some points to address: 1) Did the author have a clear purpose for the article? What makes you believe so? 2) Was this purpose accomplished? How? 3) Did the author present compelling evidence to support main points? 4) Does the article have gaps? What sort? 5) Did the author present the information in a way that readers would find appealing? In what way? 6) Is the world a better place for this article being written? How? 7) How does this article relate to the real world, either business-wise, or personally? If it doesn’t, state why.

You don’t have to write in a boring and stilted academic style in your summary and analysis – it’s all right (and encouraged!) to write in an engaging style!
