A summary is a brief summarization of a larger work that gives the reader a comprehensive understanding. To write a summary, a writer will gather the main ideas of an article, essay, television show, or film they've read or watched and condense the central ideas into a brief overview.

Summary / Reaction #2
***ATTACH THIS PAGE TO YOUR SUMMARY/ REACTION PAPER***
Summarizing is a very important academic skill. It will help you become a more effective reader as it helps you remember what you have read. In addition, summaries and reactions play an important role in college writing. In essay examinations and papers, you demonstrate your understanding of material you have read by briefly summarizing its main ideas and explaining them in a condensed form. However, you often go beyond merely summarizing the material; you also respond to it. You analyze it, compare or contrast it with other material you’ve studied, agree or disagree with its ideas, or expand on them further.

How to write a summary:
1. Review “Summarizing” and “Paraphrasing” in Chapter 1 of Sourcework. Read the text of the article several times to make sure you understand it clearly.
2. Find the key words and main ideas in the text. Underline or highlight these sentences.
3. Write your own sentences that paraphrase the main points of the text. When you paraphrase, you use your own words and vary the grammatical structure of the author’s sentences.
4. Begin your summary with a reference to the author and the title of the article. For example,
In “Wipeout: The Dangers of Workplace Websurfing”, Pachikara reports that many companies have set policies to monitor and control personal Internet use by employees.
5. Include one or more additional reporting verbs in your summary that refer back to the source.
Example:
Pachikara observes that …
Tunceren and Benson note that. . .
Remember, in a summary:
· include only the main points, not the details
· do not change the author’s ideas
· do not include your own opinions
· a summary is much shorter th ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Summary expectations
1. Summary Expectations
1. What is a summary? In your own words, you present the author’s main idea. Then
you provide supporting details that support the main idea. A summary is considerably
shorter than the original passage and is usually written in the form of a well-designed
paragraph. Learning to summarize effectively will help you in many ways. Summary
writing reinforces comprehension skills in reading and requires you to discriminate
among the ideas in the target reading passage. They are often used in collecting material
for research papers and in writing conclusions to essays.
**Summaries are different than reaction responses. A reaction response concentrates on
the content in a reading selection. It includes personal experience and other information
only to explain, validate, or challenge the ideas in that content.
2. Your summary will need a good introduction. Here are some examples that you may use:
The selection “______(title of story goes here) “ by
_________________points out_________(author’s main point goes
here)______________.
-OR-
The author’s main point is____________________________.
3. Summary Requirements:
• Typed in MLA format.
o See MLA example
o Major words in the title need to be capitalized.
o First line needs to be indented.
o Double-spaced.
• State the main idea in the first sentence and the rest of the summary should provide
examples that support the main idea.
• Do use spell check, double space after a period, capitalize first letter in a sentence.
• A half-page to a full page in most cases is sufficient.
