How to write a summary

Some tips when you write a summary!

1.Read the article to be summarized and be sure you understand it.
2.Outline the article. Note the major points. (Underline in your text for example)
3.Write a first draft of the summary without looking at the article.
4.Always use paraphrase when writing a summary. If you do copy a phrase from the original be sure it is a very important phrase that is necessary and cannot be paraphrased. In this case put "quotation marks" around the phrase.
5.Target your first draft for approximately 1/4 the length of the original.
