  1. 10 Word Summary Reader’s Apprenticeship (RA) Silent Sustained Reading (SSR)

  2. BEFORE I READ… • The very 1st thing… • Locate the TITLE and AUTHOR • Look for a SOURCE of PUBLICATION • Is this a book? A magazine? What kind of magazine? An internet article? From which site? • Then, “hover” over the text and look for words and names that you are not familiar with. • Finally, check for illustrations, captions, and additional information to try and “figure it out.”

  3. Are There Only 10 Words? Not really… • AFTER reading your text, you will skim through again. • Identify 10 KEY or “BUZZ” words that help to illustrate the text’s main idea(s). • Write the 10 words in a list. • Next, take the 10 words and expand them into 8-10 sentences that “summarize” what you have just read about.

  4. It should look something like this… Sara Johnson Mrs. Morris HLA1-4th hour 9 September 2013 Article: “How to Create a Summary” Author: Martha Spencer 10 Word List: • Important ideas • Key Words • Who • What • When • Where • Why • How • Not details • Concise In the article, “How to Create a Summary,” Spencer suggests finding a way to answer the“w” questions. If you can easily communicate to the reader, the who, what, when, where, why, and how, then you have done your job…

  5. Helpful Hints • Your expanded summary should “condense” the reading down to MAIN IDEAS and IMPORTANT POINTS. • The summary should explain to others, who have not read the text, what it is about. • Do NOT be tempted to copy sentences directly out of the text. This is plagiarism and NOT the purpose of the assignment. • The summary should be a way of explaining the reading “in your own words.”

  6. The Best Way to Check your Work • You will be reading articles different from the peers immediately around you. • If you were to trade summaries with someone that read a different text, could that student understand your article without reading the whole thing? • In other words, your summary was enough to know!

  7. MODEL • We will look at an article together, as a class. • Then, we will follow each of the steps that I have explained. • Then, you will work on one of your own.

  8. Close & Critical ReadingInformational Text9/23/13 After you read, construct a 4 square • See Sample Handout (Informational & Narrative Text) Label each square • What ? • How? • Meaning? • Meaning for Me?

  9. What? Give a brief summary of the main ideas. • Remember your 10 Word Summary! • This covers the “gist” • Write a cohesive paragraph • Do NOT plagiarize

  10. How? • You MUST select a minimum of 3 textual citations (proof, evidence) • Look at the summary & identify where in the text you can prove your statement. • Where did you find your information? • QUOTE the lines

  11. Meaning? • Why was this written? • What is the purpose? • Who is it directed to? • What does the author have to gain by writing this? • What do readers have to gain by reading this?

  12. Meaning for Me? • How does the text resonate with you? • How does the text have a connection to you? • Does the text offer some real world lesson? • How might this affect your world view?
