ou are in good shape for your first summarizing exercise.
First, to summarize means to provide a brief overview of a source in your own words. Essentially, you are sharing what you learned from the source.
After you choose the chapter you find most interesting, it may be helpful to think about what you’d say if someone asked you what the chapter is about: You wouldn’t give every little detail, but you’d explain the overall flavor of the chapter and cover the major points. Your goal is to help your audience understand, accurately, what the chapter is about.
Here are the requirements for posting your summary:
Choose just one of this week’s chapters (7-10) for your focus.
Review the chapter and your annotations so that everything is fresh in your mind.
In your first sentence, give the chapter title (in quotation marks) and chapter number, and also use the author’s full name.
Next, without copying anything from the chapter (don’t plagiarize!), explain what the chapter is about in a meaty paragraph (probably at least seven sentences but less than 150 words).
If you want to pull in one or two great quotations that really strike you as meaningful, feel free to do that, but use appropriate quotation marks and a parenthetical page reference.
At the end of your summary, tell us what you thought about the chapter.
