Video: Summarizing

Once you’ve identified a text’s thesis statement, major ideas, and quotations that are valuable, you’ll be prepared to draft a summary of that text.

Remember, the goal of a summary is to convey the overall meaning of the text to someone who has not read it.  You are the expert about this text, and you’re sharing your expertise with others through your summary.
