It sounds as if your teacher would like you to write an abstract for each paper. An abstract is a type of summary. Normally, abstracts will include one or two sentences describing each of the following:
- The purpose of the work.
- Any background or context information necessary to understand the work.
- The methods used to obtain results.
- The results.
- The conclusions which can be drawn from the results.
- Sometimes a statement describing any further work/analysis/experimentation which needs to be done can be included, although this is not necessary in all cases - usually only appears when the results are inconclusive.
As for how to format your summaries, it is not really clear from your teacher's instructions. But I would err on the safe side and format each summary on a dedicated Abstract page following the APA style guidelines. See the link below for more info on formatting.
