Summaries should always include the main idea and important details. To create a summary, read or review the text you are summarizing and identify the main idea, which usually captures the central point or message the writer is conveying. Then, select the important details that support or illustrate the main idea. These details should be key points, examples, or evidence that the writer uses to back up their main idea. Including these two elements in your summary helps provide a concise overview of the text's content.
