Summing+Up+Summaries



As we have discussed in class the ability to summarize is an important skill that all readers need know how to utilize. We have practiced and completed verbal summaries, written summaries, written them in groups, and individually. You've (hopefully) learned what a good summary should include; and now it's time to express that learning.

You will created a Wordle that expresses your understanding of what a summary is. I have posted an example that expresses my understanding. Before you start, think about what the components (or parts) of a summary are and what a summary is supposed to do.

Tips When Creating A Wordle: * The more times you type a word the larger it will appear. * If you want words to appear together do not type a space between them. * Type your work in Microsoft Word first so you can save it. Then copy and paste it into the Wordle workspace.
