Big Ideas
Students need to know:
● A summary is shorter than the source
● A summary repeats the ideas of the source in different phrases and sentences
Teachers need to know:
“A summary is a synthesis of the important ideas in a text. Summarizing requires students to determine what is important in what they are reading, to condense the information, and to put it into their own words. Instruction in summarizing helps students:
• Identify or generate main ideas• Connect the main or central ideas• Eliminate redundant and unnecessary information”
(CIERA, 2003, p.53)
Big Ideas
“Model many times over how to make
a summary of a short passage or aparagraph; progress gradually
to longer segments of text.Summarizing is difficult and inthe beginning should be taughtthrough extensive modeling and
supported practice.”(Moats, 2005, p. 52)
Big Ideas When you ask your students to summarize,
what usually happens?
● they write down everything● they write down next to nothing● they write down way too much
● they don’t write enough● they copy word for word
Big Ideas What did you want them to do?
● pull out main ideas● focus on key details
● use key words and phrases● break down the larger ideas
● write only enough to convey the gist

“Remember when we made our lost dog poster? We hada long list of details about the dog. Pretend that all of myfingers are those details. We didn’t want to put all ofthose details on our poster, we had to figure out whichinformation was the most important – like my thumb here.The unimportant details can hide behind my hand, so thatonly the most important or key information is left. You willknow when I am Determining Importance while reading,because I will show you this thumbs‐up hand signal.”
