First you get to read something on the Internet or in your favorite magazine, and then write a summary of it.
Choose any subject of interest to you personally (stamps, bees, security alarms, global warming, sports, etc.) and read about it (or listen to a podcast, or view a DVD). Other suggestions: go to an online version of a newspaper or magazine or radio broadcast, such as The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, The Atlantic Monthly, Sports Illustrated, the BBC, NPR, your local newspaper, a website of your choice, and so on. Don't hesitate to read something from a magazine you subscribe to or a book from your local library. Check out your college's online library as well, which you can access through the Resources tab.
After you read and take notes on your piece, write a Summary paragraph. In your summary, try to capture the main ideas of the piece in clear and concise sentences. Remember you are summarizing, so don't include any opinions. Imagine that your audience is your best friends!

To write a summary of a piece, you need to first choose a subject of interest, such as stamps, bees, security alarms, global warming, or sports. Once you have chosen a subject, you can then start gathering information about it by reading articles, listening to podcasts, watching videos, or researching online. You can access various sources like newspapers, magazines, radio broadcasts, websites, and even your college's online library.
While going through your selected piece, make sure to take notes to help you remember the key points. Focus on understanding the main ideas and concepts presented, as well as any supporting arguments or evidence. Avoid including your opinions in the summary since it should be an objective representation of the original piece.
When you start writing the summary, aim for clear and concise sentences that capture the main ideas of the piece. Imagine that you are explaining the content to your best friends, so keep the language accessible and avoid using jargon or technical terms unless necessary.
Remember, the purpose of a summary is to provide an overview of the original piece, so it's important to accurately capture the author's intended message without any personal biases.
