| Writing a Summary
A summary is a shortened version of a text that highlights its key points.
The primary purpose of a summary is to “give an accurate, objective
representation of what the work says.” As a general rule, “you should not include
your own ideas or interpretations.”
Steps in Composing a summary
● Read the text for its main points.
● Reread carefully and make a descriptive outline.
● Write out the text’s main point.
● Identify the text’s major divisions. Each division develops one of the stages
needed to make the whole main point.
● Try summarizing each part in one or two sentences.
● Now combine your summaries of the parts into a coherent whole, creating
a condensed version of the text’s main ideas in your own words.
