When writing your objective summaries, the goal is to answer the question of what you saw

while leaving how you feel about it out of the summary. Review the passages we have read so
far and your annotations if you are not sure where to start.

An Objective summary is based on your observations, not your opinion.

Your objective summary should avoid the following:
- personal feelings or interpretation. (Do not use I feel or I think)
- copying the text word for word
- details that are off topic or your opinions.
- Using the word “I”
Your objective summary should include the following:
- A short description of the plot, characters, setting, and conflict that has been read so far.
- 3-5 sentences in paragraph form.
- Specific character names or third person pronouns.
