Assignment: Write a summary of Naomi Klein’s “Introduction” to On Fire.
In class, we have read and discussed Klein’s “Introduction” about climate change. Now
it’s your job to explain the essay to people outside of our classroom. Below, this task is
broken down into three main parts. In each section, you’ll need to provide clear,
concrete details so that someone who has never read this introduction can understand
her argument.
Part A: As we have seen, the hardest part of summary is often resisting the urge to list
every point in a text. In the first part of your essay, you will quickly introduce Klein (who
is she?) and her text (what is she talking about?) before spending most of your time
explaining what her overall argument is. What is the main idea she wants to convince
readers of? [3-5 sentences]
