I decided to start writing summaries of the books I read as a memory task due to the fact I've had a few health scares over the past 5 years that have destroyed some of my brain cells. This guy is fantastic at explaining information I'm wanting to know!

Paragraph Structure: Maintain a well-structured paragraph format.
Topic Sentence: Start with a topic sentence that includes the title, author, and speaker (if applicable).

[salvadornovillosaravia]

writting summaries you must not include:specific details, dates or figures unless essential
a summarie must be concise, not wordy(not descriptive)
a summerie should mantain a good paragraph structeure (topic sentence, supporting sentence, cocluding sentences)
In a topic sentence you should identify:the author, title, speaker, of the original material in you topic sentences.
topic sentences are the main point

supporting sentences Always try to follow the order of information is presented in the orginal material
always paraphrase no do direct information
be objective do not give you opinion
