While I'm reading a passage, I should underline either the main idea that I will summarize, or underline the quote or phrase I would be using. It would help me to focus later on to write the paragraph on the subject of the part that I picked. I would be writing mostly in my own words, explaining the idea, or what the quotation, picked by me, means. Including the author's name or any other information that will give the idea for the reader that my information has a background, even though it will not look like the regular essay.
When I will have an outline I should start drafting the summary in chronological order. It should make sense, be reasonable, and include some parts of the passage and support it. It will be a combination of one or two sentences and they should be stretched out and explained without repetition.
My summary should be comprehensive, reasonable, support my point of view, and cited in a way that is suppose to be while writing a summary.
Very comprehensive.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean exactly that your summary should support your point of view?
Ups... What I mean by that is the main point of the summary

ReplyDeleteThis first blog series is missing a key blog that summarizes and responds to Plato's allegory of the cave.
For the next series, please try to complete all blogs, especially those that summarize and respond to a reading. The practice is important. If you miss class, just check my blog for assignments missed.
