Writing an Objective Summary

Writing an Objective Summary Writing an objective summary involves recording the main ideas of a text while showing your understanding of the topic. Objective means: No opinions No reactions No personal connections Just the facts!

What is an objective summary? A good objective summary: Focuses on the main idea and only the details that support it Brief Accurate Objective

What to Avoid in an Objective Summary Do not copy any part of the original source. Is not long and detailed Does not include any opinions or reactions Minor details

What should a complete summary include? At least five sentences: Main Idea sentence Most important idea of original source Three supporting detail sentences Three details that relate to and support the main idea Concluding sentence A summarizing sentence

Step #1: 3 Part Topic Sentence of Summary Name It: Identify the title of the text and the author Verb It: Use one of the following “summary” verbs: Shows, describes, explains, discusses, lists, explores, illustrates, compares, states Central Idea/Main Point: Identify the central idea of the text

Step #2: 3-4 Essential/Key Ideas Important = Interesting If the article has sub-headings: Pick 1-2 essential details from the introductory section and each sub-section. These details should make up your central idea. If the article does not have sub-headings Pick 1-2 essential details from the BEGINNING of the text, 1-2 essential details from the MIDDLE of the text, and 1-2 essential details from the END of the text.
