Summarizing

I think that almost everyone have summarized an article or two in their high school life, whether its for a current event or just for note taking. Some just pull out random sentences in the article to have at least three to five sentences to make a paragraph for a summary. But even in summarizing an article or text you still have to remember that there are rules. And today in class we learned that there are 9 rules to follow when writing a summary and that when you follow these it can help you write a more effective and well written summaries in the future.

  2. I didn't know that there was such a thing as an effective essay. I think the 9 rules will be useful especially when we start writing papers.

  3. That is very true for the majority of us. Hopefully, we'll learn to create better summaries in the future.
