 question
What technique/s do you think is applied
in this game and how did it help in
figuring out the specific detail during
each round?
 Analyze if the statement is a GOOD or BAD
summarizing technique
1. Aldrin copied details from two original texts and
joined the two to form his summary.

2. Elizabeth read the original material and listed

down important details in her notebook.

3. John used a semantic web to relate important

details to the main idea.
 Analyze if the statement is a GOOD or BAD
summarizing technique

4. Evelyn underlined important sentences and

restated them in her own words.

5. Engelbert wrote down key ideas, and connected

the ideas using his own words.
summary
A direct to the point narrative or
re-telling of a much longer text material,
either a story, an essay
or any body of knowledge.
 Guidelines in Summarizing

1. Clarify the reason for

summarizing before
reading.
"What is your reason for summarizing the story,
To simplify the entire plot/events or to make the readers easily
understand its' message (moral lesson)?"
 Guidelines in Summarizing

2. Read the material first

while noting important
details.
"Reading while taking down important notes will help you save
time and work efficiently on the summary you're working on."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

3. If you can write on the

material, encircle the key
ideas and important details.

"Determining the KEY IDEAS and IMPORTANT DETAILS will simplify your
summary, for it will require you to only explain those details and not get sidetracked
with the other unnecessary content of the text."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

3. If you can write on the

material, encircle the key
ideas and important details.

"Determining the KEY IDEAS and IMPORTANT DETAILS will simplify your
summary, for it will require you to only explain those details and not get sidetracked
with the other unnecessary content of the text."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

4. If you cannot write on the material, note

down the key ideas and important details on
your notebook, you may use a bulleted
format.
"Using a bullet format will allow you to do an outline of
the important points you have listed down and you can
easily arrange information once you start writing your
text summary."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

5. Without consulting the original text,

connect the bulleted information
you wrote down.

"With the use of your bulleted list or graphic organizer - related to the text structure that
your working on, this will allow you to easily arrange information and serve as a guide in
writing your summary. "
 Guidelines in Summarizing

6. Re-write this bulleted

information in your own words.
Stick to the ideas the details are
presenting

"Summarizing and paraphrasing are closely related to each other. By using your own words, you
will likely not get lost on the possible train of thoughts that you might encounter in your summary.
This will also avoid PLAGIARISM."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

7. Write the sentences in a

paragraph form.
"Most of the texts published are either in story,
essay, article or research format, Writing in
paragraph form will also help you sequence the
details you just
re-write."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

8. Compare your summary to that of

the original text for checking of
accuracy.

"This is to check if the message of your summary

and the original text remains the same, despite of
the word changes."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

9. Create citations and references by

using any
of the following formats:
"Citations or references (also known as Source) allows
writers to attribute or recognize the original owner of the
idea, text material used to develop your own composed
text (or text summary). It's just basic ethical manners."
 Guidelines in Summarizing

 Guidelines in Summarizing

title or copy the original one.

"You can either change or retain the original title but make

summarizing
techniques
 activity #1
Let us use the “Someone-Wanted-But-So-Then
Technique” to gather key ideas and information
from the text. Fill in the table with the needed
information.
 Before she became known as Wonder Woman,
Diana is the princess of Themyscira. Daughter of
Queen Hippolyta. She grew up sheltered but inside her
she wanted to be like her mother and her mother’s
generals. So she was trained by her mother’s General
Antiope, who knew of the prophecy surrounding the
true identity of Diana.
When a spy crossed the magic border of the island of the
Amazons, Nazi soldiers fought and killed Antiope which
prompted Diana to go with the American spy to win Ares’
war off all wars. Diana went to onto fight with men,
discovering who she really is, who Ares is and what she
can do to win. Diana finally discovered lies of men, her
true identity, her powers and that she can be Wonder
Woman.
SOMEONE: Who is the main character of the story?

WANTED: What was the goal of the main character?

BUT: What main problem did the main character experience?

SO: How did the main character solve the problem?

THEN: How did the story end?

“Someone-Wanted-But-So-Then Technique”
activity #2
Read the passage and
let us use the S-A-A-C Technique.
 When you buy a mobile phone, you have to take
care of it. One way to do so is applying a screen
protector; to lessen impacts of falling objects on the
screen and other damages. In applying the screen
protector, clean the surface of your phone’s screen
with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or lint. Once the
surface of your screen is clean, remove the paper
backing on the screen protector.
 Align the screen protector to the screen of your
phone. Evenly apply the sticky side of the screen
protector to your phone’s screen, with the least
amount of pressure. Smooth out any air bubble
trapped on between the protector and the phone
screen by using a soft cloth. Enjoy the added
protection and enjoy your gadget.

Using the information you placed on S-A-A-C
Technique, create your own summary.

SAMPLE:
Summary of The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The Boy Who Cried Wolf by Aesop tells us about

the outcome of repeatedly lying about seeing
wolves. They ignored his cries for help when
there was real danger.
 Let us now use the “Cornell Note Taking” technique
which was devised by Professor Walter Pauk of Cornell
University in the 1950’s. Though it is old, it has been
used by many students from then until today.
 activity #3
In using the “Cornell Note Taking” technique, pick-out the
main points from the paragraph and the evidence or
details. Make sure that you write chronologically.
 Tiger sharks got their name due to the dark, vertical
stripes found mainly on young tiger sharks called
“Juveniles”. When these sharks mature, the lines begin to
fade and almost disappear. These large, blunt-nosed
predators have a duly earned reputation as man-eaters
because of many reported attacks. They are second only to
the great white sharks in attacking people, but because
they are not picky-eaters, they do not swim away after
biting a human like the great whites frequently do.
They are excellent scavengers; they have excellent
senses of sight and smell and a nearly limitless menu of
food choice. They have sharp, highly serrated teeth and
powerful jaws that allow them to crack the shells of sea
turtles and clams. The stomach contents of some
captured tiger sharks have included stingrays, sea
snakes, seals, birds, squids, and even non-food items like
old tires and even license plates.
CORNELL NOTE TAKING TECHNIQUE
ASSESSMENT
On a sheet of paper, write TRUE if the
statement is correct, and FALSE if the
statement is incorrect.
1. An idea heading format starts with the summary before
the citation.

2. In summarizing, we will know the reason after we read

the original material.

3. When we connect the bulleted information using our own

words, we can go back to the original material to make sure
we are not wrong.
4. When we read closely for details, we need to memorize
the details we encounter.

5. A summary should be arranged according to how we

understand and remember the original material.

6. If we were given a task sheet, we can encircle the key

ideas and details.
7. When we summarize we need to write by number, in
order to arrange the events.
8. Writing a summary should include all details in the
original material.
9. Summarizing is stating what happened in less words.
10. Date heading format starts with the summary before the
date the summary was made.
