Document Content and Description Below
What is a summary? - -A summary is a brief explanation of a work's content. -Summaries do the following: - --They cover all of the author's major supporting ideas. -They show the relationships amo... ng these ideas. -They omit specifics, such as illustrations, descriptions, and detailed explanations. -They indicate the author's purpose in writing: to inform, to persuade, or to entertain. If the passage is a persuasive piece, report the author's bias or position on the issue but do not judge. - They omit all personal opinions, ideas, and inferences. Let the reader know that you are reporting the author's ideas. -They are cohesive and "hang together" using appropriate reporting words which clearly show that the summary is based on the author's original position and not the writer's opinion. -Steps in Writing a Summary: - -- Read the text. - Reread the text. Divide the text into segments or sections of ideas. A segment can comprise one or more paragraphs. - Look for the thesis statement or focus of the text. - Write one-sentence summaries for each major segment of the text. Do this on a piece of paper or on the computer. DO NOT LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL AS YOU PREPARE YOU ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY. - Formulate the Thesis Statement:In many texts, the author will state the thesis statement directly; simply find it and restate in your own words. Do not directly quote it. In other texts the thesis may be implicit: you may have to write your own one-sentence thesis statement that summarizes this central theme. [Show More]
