Summarising the Main Idea

L.I. To look for keywords and phrases

Good readers notice key words.  Here are some clues to help you find key words:

• Key words are directly connected to the topic
• Key words are often repeated in the title and the text
• A key word helps you to remember an important idea

Use this table to help you summarise the main ideas in a text in your own words.  It is important that you use your own words to show your understanding and to avoid plagiarism.  If you don’t know what some words mean, look them up.

Keywords from the title

Keywords from sub headings

New words I need to look up

Read the text and record key words/phrases that answer these questions:

What? A stupendous storm washed three containers away

Where? Hong Kong to Tacoma, Washington in the United States

When? January 1992

Who? yellow ducks, blue turtles and green frogs

Why? One container spilled its contents into the sea

How? Stupendous storm Blowed the 3 containers away from the ship

Now using the words you wrote down summarise the text in 25 words or less.

Day 4 Bonus

Bonus:  The New Zealand Olympic Team has created a video called #Be The Inspiration. They have posted it on the homepage of their website (on the left hand side). Watch the Be the Inspiration video and then post a critique of the video on your blog. In your critique tell us what you liked about the video and what you didn’t like. It is very common for movie reviewers to use stars to indicate how much they liked a movie. A rating of * = very bad movie, ** = bad movie, *** = okay movie, **** = good movie, and ***** = very good movie. At the end of your critique, please provide a rating for the Be The Inspiration movie.

first woman to be listed as an Olympic victor
