Activity #1
How to Write a Summary for an Informational Article

  • RI6.1 Cite textual evidence to support what the text says as well as inferences made from the text
  • RI6.2 Determine the main idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details. Provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions.

Step 1 - Summaries only contain the most important information, so look at the outline and pick the most important piece of information from each category.
Step 2 - Follow the steps on the graphic organizer to write your summary.
  • Start with the main idea.
  • Write one detail from each category
Step 3 - Use your transitions words and phrases from page 6 in your notebook to add a transitional word, or phrase, in between your details.
