The Rule Strategy Key Ideas & Details Delete unnecessary words or sentences conjunctions, prepositions, personal references, interruptions by the author w/opinion or examples, superfluous descriptors Combine repeated and/or similar words as one reference Substitute words For unfamiliar concepts: vast stretches—large area To categorize: axes, mauls, and hammers are tools Keep or create a topic sentence May or may not be the first sentence May be at the end of the paragraph or in the middle Examine transitions and text structure To verify topic sentence To fully understand and retain the author’s purpose Adapted from: Day, Jeanne D.(1986).

Writing a Summary Step 1: Read the text marking & defining unknown words Step 2: Reread: 1) underline important words; 2) make annotations in the margin: thesis & key ideas Step 3: Use annotations to make a brief outline or write bullet points Step 4: Writing the actual summary: First Sentence: Mention the author, specific genre, topic, and title of the reading in your first sentence. Second Sentence: Beginning with words like “according to” or John Doe develops the idea that…” state the thesis/main idea. You may include a reference to the text structure in this sentence (compare, contrast, question/answer, etc.   Third Sentence: Begin with beginning, presenting ideas in the order in which they were discussed in the selection.  Introduce the author’s key points with citation verbs and expressions (e.g., the author points out, according to).  Use transitional expressions to make connections between ideas. Include only the most important point and supporting details. Paraphrase, do not copy sentences. Include key content terms used in the reading. Do not include your personal opinions or experiences.  © 2013 Partner in Education
