Reading and Summarizing
Summarizing is reducing larger selections of text to their key ideas and main points by removing extra words and examples to focus on the most important information. When summarizing, we try to find key words and phrases that capture the essence of what was read and convey the main ideas and important details needed to support them. Effective summarizing involves pulling out main ideas, focusing on key details using concise language, and writing only enough to get the gist without copying word for word or including unnecessary information.
How to conclude an essay
The document provides guidance on how to write a good conclusion to an essay. It recommends that the conclusion should: 1) restate the main thesis of the essay; 2) review the key supporting ideas discussed in the essay; and 3) include a final closing statement. The conclusion should not repeat the introduction verbatim or introduce new information not discussed in the essay body. It is important for the conclusion to provide closure to the discussion and leave the reader with final thoughts, rather than simply summarizing all arguments.

Cause and effect signal words
Cause and effect is a relationship between things, situations or events that indicates one is the reason for the other. Cause and effect can be identified in texts through signal words and phrases, including synonyms for "cause" and "effect", conjunctions, transitional words and phrases, words referring to examples of causes and effects, and words referring to time and sequence.
Sequence
Sequence organizes information in a logical order, such as chronologically or by steps. It can be explicit or implied. Strategies to identify sequence include analyzing actors, actions, and circumstances; noting signal words; and creating graphic organizers to visualize sequences.
Implied main idea
The document discusses strategies for identifying the implied main idea of a text, including looking for patterns of repetition or synonyms, analyzing the text structure, breaking down the text into verbs, subjects, and circumstances, determining the topic and message, and attempting to write a topic sentence. It provides examples demonstrating how to apply each strategy to infer the main idea even when it is not explicitly stated.
5 w’s and 1 h reading practice
This slideshow gives an example of how the 5 W's and 1 H can be used to help extract explicit details when reading.
Finding the facts
This document discusses how to recognize factual information through language cues. It states that a fact is information that is known or proven to be true. Facts can be recognized by paying attention to words that convey certainty, an assertive tone, references to reliable sources, clear details, and statistics. Words like "absolutely" and "confirmed" indicate certainty, while phrases like "according to experts" provide references. Sentences with precise measurements or dates rather than vague terms like "a lot" provide clearer details to support facts.
Explicit versus implicit meaning
Explicit meaning comes from information that is directly stated in a text, while implicit meaning comes from information that is suggested or implied. Both types of meaning are valuable - explicit meaning is important for clarity while implicit meaning adds depth and encourages critical thinking. In texts, explicit and implicit meaning are often connected, as explicit details provide context for readers to derive implicit meanings.
