The document provides guidance on writing summaries, including the steps to take and important considerations. It advises to reread the original text and divide it into the main points, write sentences summarizing each point, compose a thesis statement capturing the overall claim, and write the summary incorporating the points in order with transitions. Examples are given of logical relationships expressed through transitional words and phrases. Focus is advised on the argument, condensed presentation in one's own words, and objective reporting without judgment. Signal verbs are recommended to indicate who is saying what.
