“Before we go to our lesson, let us first have a short
activity.”
(The teacher will present a short poem. The students will

pick a line from the poem. The students will then give
their insights on what the line means for them.)
Daffodils
by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud (The students will participate in the said activity.)
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden
daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees Fluttering and
dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the

milky way, they stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they Out-did the

sparkling waves in glee: - A poet could not but be gay in
such a jocund company!
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.
For oft, when on my couch I lie in vacant or in pensive

mood, they flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss
of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with
the daffodils.
D. Lesson Proper
“Today we will be talking about the different types of

Reading strategies.”
Summary is a condensed version of an author’s (The students will read in chorus.)

main ideas, written in your own words. A strong
summary represents an author’s views accurately,
and at the same time emphasizes those aspects of
what the author says that interest you, the writer.
“Summarizing is retelling the main idea in your own

words. A summary should be short and to the point.
Only the most important ideas should be included.”
“Now that we know the definition of summarizing,

let us now read some tips. Let us read altogether.” (The students will read in chorus.)
 A summary is written in your own words.

 A summary is always shorter than the original
text, often about 1/3 as long as the original.
 A summary should contain all the major points of

the original text,

crucial details
 Put whatever you quote in quotation marks (” “). (A student volunteers to read the paragraph.)
 A summary must contain only the ideas of the

 write down ideas from the text word-for-word
 write down incoherent and irrelevant ideas

longer than the original text.
