Day 29- Summarizing Sources

Today You Will Learn How to:

• Identify the sections of an academic paper
• Identify what kind of information should be included in a well-developed summary
• Write a 5-sentence summary of a research paper for the annotated bibliographies.

Class Today:
Warm-Up
What was easy, what was difficult about writing the part of annotated bibliography? Did you need to summarize for this assignment? Was it challenging? Discuss with your row.

Check your Summary
Open up the annotated bibliography for one source that you wrote. Then, switch seats with someone in your row. Look at a handout I will give you. What information did you include? What information did you forget?

Powerpoint
Now that you know your summary was somewhat lacking, let's talk about how to write one. Follow along with this powerpoint.

Individual Practice
Using this handout to help you, revise your summary to be meet the standards we discussed in the powerpoint. I will walk around and give feedback.
