 Lets Activate
Our Prior
Knowledge
SEMANTIC MAP BEFORE READING AND SUMMARIZING BEGINS!
TOPIC: SUMMARIZING - What does it mean to you?
 WHAT IS A SUMMARY?

THREE TRAITS OF A GOOD SUMMARY

1. Conciseness
2. Accuracy
3. Objectivity

 Why is this important?
It helps you learn to determine essential ideas and consolidate important details
that support them.

It enables you to focus on key words and phrases of a text that are worth noting
and remembering.

It teaches you how to take a large selection of text and reduce it to the main
points for more concise understanding.

 What is a Narrative?
★ A narrative is the way a story is pieced together
○ A story that connects and explains a set of events and experiences

★ How can the narrative of a poem be different/ similar from the narrative of
another written text (such as a novel or a short story)?
○ Rhyme, rhythm, similes and metaphors to create a narrative
○ Narrative poems are typically longer and they tell an overarching story just
like a novel.
○ They have a plot, characters and a setting like a novel too.
○ Most narrative poems have only a single speaker: the narrator.
