LC: To identify the main ideas drawn from a paragraph.

How to summarise a text

Before you can begin to analyse the language or techniques being used by a writer, the effects these create and the methods used, it is important to be able to find the key information that you will analyse.

There are a number of techniques to use when finding information from a text, two of which are skimming and scanning.

Skimming

Skimming is letting your eyes and mind ‘skim’ over the text to get a quick but very general idea of it. You can’t read the text closely when skimming it, but instead you aim to pick out key words and sentences and get the general feel and meaning of the text.

A topic sentence is often the first sentence in a paragraph. You should always read it fully even when skimming as this will give you a summary of that paragraph’s subject and help you to gain a general idea of the content.

Scanning

Scanning is the method of looking for key words or phrases to find out specific information.

Scoring

The team at the end of 90 minutes with the most goals will be declared the winners. However, in the event that both teams have the same score, a draw is recorded.
