Summarizing
Why do it?
To reduce information to
 essential ideas in order to:
-Understand and learn
 important information.
The Process…
(How to summarize? )
1- Identify main idea from TOPIC
  SENTENCE .
2- Identify SUPPORTING DETAILS .
3- Disregard unimportant
  information.
4- Simplify the important
  information.
Focus on …
The main idea is the most
 important information or
 concept in a text or statement.
Not all information is equal:
 some of it clearly is more
 important than the rest.
Main Idea




Supporting   Supporting   Supporting
  Detail       Detail       Detail
Topic Sentences…
The TOPIC SENTENCE is
 usually the first sentence of
 the paragraph. It gives the
 reader
Summarizing
      Let’s practice
 One paragraph at a time…
Example of a paragraph:                  Topic sentence

 There are 2500 different kinds of palm trees, and
 the most useful kinds are date palms.
 Good date palms provide 400 kilos of dates every
 year for 70 years.               2 supporting ideas
 Dates are delicious and healthy, and you can keep
 them longer than other fruit.
 Apples and oranges are not good after a week in hot
 weather, but dates are good for many weeks.


            Unimportant information
The paragraph’s summary:
 The most important kind of palm
 trees is the date palms. Because dates
 are very tasty, good for the health, and
 unlike other fruits they can be
 conserved for long periods.
Now read the second
paragraph in your
students books page 96
and underline the main
idea and the supporting
details.
Now work in groups to
reorder the following
sentences to get a
coherent summary of the
second paragraph.
 He was the first person who crossed
 the Atlantic ocean.

 He was the first explorer who sailed
 towards the west to land on the East
 Indies with the queen’s consent.

 Christopher Columbus was an
 English explorer.
Well Done!!!!!!!
 Christopher Columbus was an
 English explorer. He was the first
 person who crossed the Atlantic
 ocean. He was the first explorer who
 sailed towards the west to land on
 the East Indies with the queen’s
 consent.
Thanks for attention
