  • #10 What is a SUMMARY? (Please read) Summary is a brief- what is brief? Not the underware. Brief means short or compact. Kumabaga sa computer, pag magsave ka ng mrmaing movies, instead n ilalagay mo sa CD, pwede mo syang ilagay sa FLASH DRIVE which is smaller or more compact storage of files than CD’s. Ang summary is a brief statement of main points. It’s important to note that a summary is a RESTATEMENT which means that it is just a repeated idea from an original source. It is a distillng essential concepts intp a paragraph or two. Distilling means extracting , in tagalog kinakatas, hinihimay, kinukuha ang pinaka essential or importanteng concepts or ideas na mangagling from an original source. Ibig sabihin, you cannot make a summary without an original text or original source of information. It is a useful tool and good writing practice. As I have said earlier, useful ito in different ways. It is also an important tool to develop good writing practice by knowing kung ano ang relevant ideas from an original source.
  • #11 A summary has two main points or purposes First is to reproduce the main idea and key points of a text. It means that a SUMMARY IS INTENDED for reproduction of the main idea of the original text in a shorter version. Second, is to restate these in as few words as possible. It is important to note that when you are writing a summary, it MUST be a SHORTER version. You cant make a summary longer than the original text. Why? Because in writing a summary, you will just include relevant information that you can find from the original text. You are not allowed to add information which you cannot find from the original text.
  • #12 Now, lets talk about the 2 primary elements of a Summary. First in the MAIN IDEA , what is a main idea? (please read) Main idea is what the text is about. It talks about the idea that revolves around the discussion. Kung ano ang pinaka GENERAL IDEA, iyon ang main idea. Pag sinabing GENERAL – it is the biggest idea. It is the opposite of SPECIFIC – when we say specific , it is the smaller idea. Example: Toothpaste is a general idea: Colgate is a specific idea. Love is a general idea while Eros is a specific idea If I would ask you, give me ways to move on from a past relationship, I am stating an example general idea. Now give me one way to move on from a past relationship, example: CUT THE CONNECTIOn. Cut the connection is a specific idea. What then is the KEY POINTS? (Pease read) KEY POINTS are arguments or information that is used to support the main idea. It is the information that explains that main idea. Key points can be a general statements provided that it is supported or explained more using supporting details. Again, the main idea is a big idea while key points are smaller ideas that explain the main idea. When the key points are explained further, supporting ideas follow.
  • #13 What is the main idea here? How about the Key points? How about the supporting details that explain the key points?
  • #14 What is the main idea here? How about the Key points? How about the supporting details that explain the key points?
  • #15 THESE ARE THE THINGS you have to remember when you are writing a summary. A summary should include only the main idea and key points. NOT SUPPORTING DETAILS. So, unlike the previous sample paragraph that I have shown you, you will only get the main idea and key points not the supporting details that explained the key points.
  • #16 Looking back at the given example a while ago.. The main idea is… The key point is… The supporting detail that explains the Keyp pOint is… When writing a summary, you should not write the supporting details …
  • #17 Next thing to remember is, A Summary may range from 2 sentences to several pages. It should not be longer than the original text. It’s length depends on how long the original text is.
  • #18 When writing the main idea or general idea, use a complete sentence. Why? So that, the reader wont get confused knowing that a key point can also be general idea since you can still explain a key point using a supporting detail. SO make sure that your main idea is separated from key point.
  • #19 Another thing is, you should not quote extensively. When you quote, means you are repeating the idea of other person. So basically, the idea is not yours. So, you cant blatantly use it and claim it as yours. If you would claim it as yours. Then, you are committing plagiarism. Which is an act of stealing an intellectual property and claiming it as yours. There are numerous ways to quote an idea to avoid plagiarism.. You may use quotation marks. You may use phrases like.. According to, based on the …as stated by,.. As indicated in the book of….in 1998..etc.
  • #20 Why then it is important that you learn to SUMMARIZE? Summary helps students learn to identify key ideas of a text and ignore irrelevant information. As I have said awhile back, in summary, you only choose details that are important. Not only it saves time for you when trying to understand the original text. It is also a convenient way to understand the original text as the important details are explicitly presented already. Another, it improves student’s memory for what they read and by extension comprehension. When you explicitly see the point of the original text by reading the summary, it allows you to understand it better. Example: It is easier for us to understand something when it is directly stated unlike when it is implicitly stated. Parang sa mga ka M.U nyo…nagpapasaring na gusto kayo, ayaw naman sabihin.., di ba nkaka confuse. Compare dun sa sinasabi na, mas madaling maintndhan. Hindi mo na need manghula kung gusto ka ba o hindi. Going back to the topic, it is easier for us to understand when the main ideas and key points are directly stated. It retains to our memory.
  • #21 Another benefit, It can develop the reading comprehension and long-term retention information. Ayon nga, the more that the POINT is directly stated, the better we understand it. it is an effective tool to self-evaluate what they understood and what they do not. When you write definitely, you are testing your self how much you understand the original text. So, if you really do understand what you read, you will definitely produce a brilliant summary for sure
  • #22 NOW, in order for you to make a brilliant, comprehensible summary , you must follow these techniques.
  • #23 1. Read the original passage or text very carefully. That’s so basic, definitely reading the original text is a requirement. It serves as the basis of your summary. So without reading the original text means, you are not writing a summary but another essay.
  • #24 It is important that when you read the original text, you mark or underline the main idea from the original text. Or even make an outline so you will be able to structure in your mind how the author arranged his ideas in the text you are reading.
  • #26 This ine is an example of outline Where you will organize the ideas presented by the author of the original text tat you are reading. Note that in essay, it is possible that there are various main ideas which is presented in each paragraph. It all depends on the length and how it is being discussed by the author.
  • #28 Never forget the point of the original text most especially if it talks about an issue. For example, it agrees with the issue on the extension of Virtual classes instead of face-to-face for the next school year. It has to reflect in your essay as well. You cannot modify any information which is not indicated in the original text.
  • #29 When you read the original text, have these questions in your mind. What is the main idea? What are the crucial details necessary for supporting the ideas? Meaning what are the key points supported by the supporting details. It is important to note this because it is the primary and the only content of your summary.
  • #31 How will y ou be able to site important key words from the main idea? You have to read first the totality of the text. Think of what is being discussed throughout the paragraph. There it will bring you to the main idea. The main idea there is: There are several possible reasons why my father is in excellent health even though he is over seventy years of age. Then identify the important words you can see based on how it is discussed throughout the paragraph Important words are: REASONS, FATHER, EXCELLENT HEALTH .
  • #32 JUST in case you will summarize an event. Get the main event ---by asking what happened? Then arrange the events chronologically. When we say chronologically , it must be time order
  • #33 32
