    WHAT IS A SUMMARY?

    It is a brief statement or restatement of main points.


    Summarizing a text, or distilling its essential concepts into a
    paragraph or two, is a useful study tool as well as good writing
    practice.
    Page 6

    TWO AIMS OF
    A SUMMARY
    Page 7 DISCUSSION

    To reproduce the main


    idea and the key
    AIM 1:
    points of a text
    Page 8 DISCUSSION

    To restate these in as
    few words as possible
    AIM 2:
    HOW DO STUDENTS BENEFITS FROM SUMMARIZING?
    Summarizing helps students learn to identify key ideas of a text and ignore
    irrelevant information.

    Summarizing improves students’ memory for what they read and by


    extension comprehension.

    By learning and practicing how to summarize, one can develop reading


    comprehension and long-term retention of information.

    It is also an effective tool to self-evaluate what they understood and what


    they do not.
    Page 9 DISCUSSION

    IDEAS TO PONDER:
    The main idea is what the text is about while key points are arguments or information
    that is used to support the main idea.

    Also, it may be developed or elaborated with supporting details. However, your


    summary should only include main ideas and key points, not supporting details.

    Another important thing you must remember is that summaries are not a place for
    your opinions, background knowledge and personal information.

    A TEXT
    Page 11 DISCUSSION

    RULE 1: READ THE ORIGINAL


    PASSAGE OR TEXT VERY CAREFULLY.
    Page 12 DISCUSSION

    RULE 2: HIGHLIGHT OR UNDERLINE


    WHAT YOU TAKE TO BE THE MAIN
    POINT OF THE ORIGINAL TEXT, OR
    MAKE NOTES IN THE MARGINS OR
    ON ANOTHER SHEET OF PAPER.
    Page 13 DISCUSSION

    RULE 3: WHEN SUMMARIZING AN


    ENTIRE ESSAY, OUTLINE THE
    WRITER’S ARGUMENT.
    Page 14 DISCUSSION

    RULE 4: NOW TELL YOUR AUDIENCE


    WHAT THE ORIGINAL SOURCE
    ARGUED.
    Page 15 DISCUSSION

    RULE 5: ASK THE FOLLOWING


    FRAMEWORK QUESTIONS:
    A. WHAT IS THE MAIN IDEA?
    B. WHAT ARE THE CRUCIAL DETAILS
    NECESSARY FOR SUPPORTING THE
    IDEAS?
    Page 16 DISCUSSION

    RULE 6: USE KEY WORDS OR


    PHRASES TO IDENTIFY THE MAIN
    POINTS FROM THE TEXT.
    Page 17 DISCUSSION

    RULE 7: YOU CAN ALSO SUMMARIZE


    A READING TEXT BY GETTING THE
    MAIN EVENTS AND ARRANGING THE
    EVENTS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.
    Page 18 DISCUSSION

    EXAMPLE:
    A typhoon is powerful, twisting hurricane. It begins high in
    the air, among the winds of a giant storm cloud. People
    who have watched a typhoon’s howling winds reach
    down from the sky have said it’s the most frightening
    thing they have ever seen. In some parts of the
    Philippines, these tropical storms are called cyclones.
    Page 18 DISCUSSION

    EXAMPLE:
    Tornadoes are not the only
    windstorms that move through
    earth’s air. Dust devils, hurricanes
    and typhoons all have twisting
    winds. But these windstorms differ
    from tornadoes in important ways.
    Page 19 DISCUSSION

    Sentence summary:
    Typhoons are frightening,
    powerful, twisting hurricanes
    sometimes called cyclones that
    start in giant clouds.
    Page 19 DISCUSSION

    Sentence summary:
    Dust devils, hurricanes and
    typhoons also have twisting
    winds, but they are different
    from tornadoes.
