Summary
Short account of the central ideas of a text
Summaries are not a place for
Opinions
Background knowledge
Personal information

How To Summarize
Read the text.
Don’t let big words scare you.
Ask, “What was this text about?”
Should be a complete sentence or two
Should cover main point and key ideas
Should be in your own words
Shouldn’t just be a word or two

Should It Go in My Summary?
Main Idea and Key Points
The main idea is what the text is about.
Key points are arguments or information that is used to support the main idea.
Key points may be developed or elaborated with supporting details.
Your summary should only include main ideas and key points, not supporting details.

Example Text 1
A penny for your thoughts?  If it’s a 1943 copper penny, it could be worth as much as
fifty thousand dollars.  In 1943, most pennies were made out of steel since copper was
needed for World War II. Another rarity is the 1995 double die peny. This pennies
were mistakenly double stamped, so they have overlapping dates and letters. If its
uncirculated, It would easily fetch $25,000 at an auction. Now thats a pretty penny.

Correct Example Response

This text is about two very rare and valuable pennies: the 1943 copper penny and the
1955 double die penny.
 Includes key information.
Doesn’t include unnecessary information
Is a complete sentence.

Example Text 1
Taken from the excerpt Understanding Calories

A calorie, also known as kilocalorie, is a unit of energy. This unit represents the energy
required to heat a kilogram of water on degree Celsius. While people generally link the
term calorie with food, it is a unit of measurement that can be applied to any substance
possessing energy. For instance, there are 8200 calories in a liter (about one quart) of
gasoline.

Sentence summary…

A calorie is a unit of energy that represents the energy required to heat a kilogram of
water on degree Celsius. This is also a unit of measurement where 1 liter of gasoline is
composed of 8200 calories.

Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and

And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again.

Went to the cupboard
To give her poor dog a bone.

The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got and home did trot,

As fast as he could caper,
And went to bed to mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating some curds and whey.

Along came a spider

Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
