A summary is produced to show your Professor that you have watched the Weight of the Nation documentary and understood it.
1. Watch the video and be sure you understand it before writing the summary.
2. Outline the video major points as you watch it.
3. Write a first draft of the summary after you watched the video (not while watching it).
4. Always use paraphrase when writing a summary. If you do copy a phrase from the original be sure it is a very important phrase that is necessary and cannot be paraphrased. In this case put “quotation marks” around the phrase.
5. Start your summary with a clear identification of the type of work, title, author, and main point in the present tense. Example: In the feature Video “Weight of the Nation Part ___”, the author, _____, explains that _______________.
6. Check with your outline and your summary draft to make sure you have covered the important points. You will need to include only the main idea and supporting facts. You can include some other things, but do not re-write the whole story.
7. A Summary do not includes your own ideas, opinions, or interpretations, be very careful of your word choice and refer to the video main points and the authors statements.
8. Write using “summarizing language.” Periodically remind your reader that this is a summary by using phrases such as the documentary claims, the author suggests, etc.
8. Proof read and spell-check the summary draft before submission.
9. Follow the instructions given regarding the length of your writing.
