Once you have previewed, skimmed, scanned, read the whole text and looked up the words you do not know.... DEAL WITH EACH PARAGRAPH SEPARATELY: 1NUMBER the paragraphs 2SCAN each paragraph and underline the essential, key sentence(s), words & phrases 3GIVE A HEADING to each paragraph (Why is it here? What is unique about it? What does it contain that cannot be found in the rest of the text?)

4READ PARAGRAPH HEADINGS again and SEE HOW THEY ARE CONNECTED 5ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS between headings (paragraphs) for example: –problem, causes and solution(s) –claim and illustrations / examples –proposal, arguments for and against, conclusion –situation, advantages and disadvantages, conclusion –chronological development and conclusion... 6 EXPRESS logical relations between parts of the text (STRUCTURE) with signalling devices (connectors)!

Express logical relations by symbols! Connectors (signalling devices) Illustrations,examples: For example, for instance, as an example...,To illustrate the point,... Listing: There are three reasons why..., (First)Firstly,..,Secondly,T hirdly,....Further, Furthermore,..., Moreover,...,Also,... Symbols

CONNECTORSYMBOL Illustrations,examples: For example, for instance, as an example...,To illustrate the point,... Listing: There are three reasons why..., (First)Firstly,..,Secondly,T hirdly,....Further, Furthermore,..., Moreover,...,Also,... e.g Express logical relations by symbols!

CONNECTORSYMBOL clarifying: In other words,..., namely,.. cause-effect : as, because, because of, consequently, therefore, due to, owing to, thus,since contrast : however, on the contrary, on the other hand, nevertheless, conversely, although, though, even though, yet Express logical relations by symbols!

CONNECTOR SYMBOL clarifying: In other words,..., namely,.. cause-effect : as, because, because of, consequently, therefore, due to, owing to, thus,since contrast : however, on the contrary, on the other hand, nevertheless, conversely, although, though, even though, yet i.e. → vs. Express logical relations by symbols!

Use: – a clear visual layout – symbols – bullets – abbreviations –e.g.→ RB pp 63 & 64 lists of symbols & abbreviations → RB, pp 63 & 65

REMEMBER! The actual order of paragraphs in the text need not necessarily be reflected in the structure of a summary (note form)! For example, ideas and info on... “ PROBLEM - CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM - SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM” …may be dispersed throughout the text, in different paragraphs! It is your job to group the bits of information and ideas to convey the main points! You want a good example? Check out the text and its summary in RB, p 64: Harry Potter and Lego
