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.

Essays and grades

source

I end this work week by reading some fun essays written by the 7th graders! It is not our first essay, so they already know what is expected from them. Having your essays, and other projects, graded is not always necessary - but it can also be a good tool to help you know where in the learning process you are. Especially combined with a comment on what you did good, and what you can perhaps improve...

In order to make it fair (and easier) I have a explicit table to guide me when I am grading. This table does not only take into account language, but also contents - why I think it is very good! Some pupils have a vivid imagination, but perhaps expressing yourself is not always so easy. I use this table for all my classes in the upper level (7th - 9th grade). This is not news, it can be found in all the classroom.

If you want to take a look at it at home, you can now also find it here. No system is perfect, but this is how I do things... In the same document you can also find what is taken into account for the overall grade.
