Lesson

3 Summarizing
Summarizing is a short restatement of the
main idea of the text. The output is called a
Summary. It is the shortened version,
ideally, only one-third of the original text. It
contains the main points and important
details of the text and should be written in
your own words.
Tips in summarizing:
 Read the original text not just once but several
times. Make sure to comprehend it well.
 Identify the text structure (compare-contrast,
cause-effect, sequence, descriptive, question-
answer, and problem-solution) by looking into how
the relationships between ideas are established.
 Take note or highlight the important details in the
text.
 After getting the main idea and important details,
write your preliminary summary.
 Make sure to use your own words.
 Check if your work does not go stray from the
original text.
 Read it again and make necessary revision or
editing.
 Aside from the general tips, you must also learn
that there are various techniques that you can use
in summarizing academic texts.
Techniques in Summarizing:

Use of Graphic Organizers

 The first technique is using graphic organizers. You


may use “Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How” as
guide questions in making or using your graphic
organizer.
1.1. The first graphic organizer will require
you to supply key points from the text as
well as the supporting details

Key Point 1 ___________________________________


•Supporting Details

Key Point 2 ___________________________________


•Supporting Details

Key Point 3 ___________________________________


•Supporting Details
1.2 The second graphic organizer requires you to provide important information
from the text by answering the questions written inside the circles.

What

Where When did
did it it happen?
happen?
What
is the
topic?
Who were
How did it
involved in
happened?
the event?
Why did it
happened?
1.3 The third graphic organizer will help you identify and organize the main ideas
as well as the other supporting details and evidences from the text. Using this
will help you write a good summary.

What is the main idea of the text?

What are the supporting details?

What are the evidences or examples given?


2. Outline (traditional or modern)

The sample given shows that through


outlining you can easily organize the key
points, supporting points, evidences, and other
important details needed in making a good
summary.
