  1. Imagine you’re at a KMS basketball game and your friend left his/her cell phone with you while she went to the concession stand. It’s your friend’s mom, and she wants to leave a message with you. The message is fairly long and complicated. How do you make sure your friend gets the message?

  2. You probably SUMMARIZED! You • thought about what was important • remembered key words, and • put it all in your own words to tell your friend.

  3. WHEN WE SUMMARIZE, WE… • take sections of text and restate the most important idea(s) in our own words • Use reading TOOLS, such as: rereading, slowing down, marking the text So basically, this is saying…

  4. LOOK AT WHAT YOUR BRAIN DOES! • Deletes trivial material that is unnecessary to understanding. • Deletes words that repeat information. • Substitutes for a list of things with a word that describes the things in the list (ex: use “trees” for “elm, oak, and maple”) • Keeps things that are important.

  5. SO BASICALLY, YOU MUST: • Delete trivial material that is unnecessary to understanding. • Delete words that repeat information. • Substitute for a list of things with a word that describes the things in the list (ex: use “trees” for “elm, oak, and maple”) • Keep things that are important. 1.

  6. Try these TOOLS to help youSUMMARIZE while you read! • Reread slowly, looking for important/repeated info • Underline/Highlight repeated words and phrases • Stop sometimes and write/draw in the margin

  7. Let me show you how I summarize! Text messaging, or texting is the common term for the sending of "short" (160 characters or fewer, including spaces, newer phones can hold up to 20 pages of 160 characters) text messages from mobile phones using the Short Message Service (SMS). It is available on most digital mobile phones and some personal digital assistants with on-board wireless telecommunications. The individual messages which are sent are called text messages or, more colloquially, texts or SMS.

  8. Now you try it together with someone! Preamble to the Constitutionof the United States We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
