Write a short summary of the text (10 – 15 lines).

Don’t rewrite the exact sentences, try to use your own language.

A summary is a shortened version of someone else's writing or thoughts.


Summaries vary in length and amount of details depending on a teacher's requirements, the length of
the original source (article, book, passage) and the purpose of the summary; however,

all summaries must:


·         be shorter than the original source (article, book, passage) approximately one third the
length of the original source;

·         include the main idea of the original source in your own words;

·         include major details (also known as supporting ideas) in your own words;

·         should not include your knowledge, ideas or opinion unless your teacher requests it.

·         identify the author, title of article, title of publication, where published, publisher,
year of publication, and page information, at the top of the page of your summary (or in-text.)

separate piece of paper for this step.
