Learning to summarize will improve your memory for what you have read. Also, there are techniques that you might have used before or you will still learn in this module that are very helpful in coming up with a certain summary of any academic texts. What’s In In the previous module, you learned how to use knowledge of text structure to glean the information you need. Let us check first if you can still remember some of the key concepts in Module 2. Activity 1: Complete Me! Directions: Read the statements that describe the different text structures. Give your answer by completing the puzzle that follows. 1.It examines the similarities and differences between two or more people. C __ m __ __ __ e - C __ n __ __ __ s __ 2.

Directions: Write on the first column what you know about the techniques in summarizing. On the second column, write what you want to know about summarizing and its techniques. Do not write anything yet on the third column. KWL Chart K (Know) W (what you Want to know) L (Learn) Notes to the Teacher As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module. 9 What’s New This time, you will be engaged in an activity that will introduce you to our lesson. Activity 3: Throwback and Tell Directions: Recall at least one of the short stories or novels you discussed in one of your previous classes in English. Then, retell the story by writing it on the box provided below. 10 Thank you for retelling such wonderful story! How did you do it? Kindly read the descriptions written on the first column, then tell if you have done it or not by putting a check (/) either on YES or NO. Make sure to select only one between the two options in every description. Descriptions I wrote only one important part or idea of the story. I wrote only my favorite parts of the story. I wrote only the most interesting part of the story. I copied the exact words, phrases, sentences or dialogue in the story. I added new information related to the story. I quoted some lines from the story. I added comments and opinions on the story YES NO If you answered YES to at least one of the descriptions, you actually have done the common mistakes of retelling or summarizing a story. But do not worry because this module will help you improve and learn more about it. What is It Now, let us study the concepts related to your activity. Summarizing is a short restatement of the main idea of the text. The output is called a Summary. It is the shortened version, ideally, only one-third of the original text. It contains the main points and important details of the text and should be written in your own words. For you to do proper summarizing, there are tips you can actually follow. Tips in summarizing: 1. Read the original text not just once but several times. Make sure to comprehend it well. 2. Identify the text structure (compare-contrast, cause-effect, sequence, descriptive, question-answer, and problem-solution) by looking into how the relationships between ideas are established. 3. Take note or highlight the important details in the text. 4. After getting the main idea and important details, write your preliminary summary. 5. Make sure to use your own words. 6. Check if your work does not go stray from the original text. 7. Read it again and make necessary revision or editing. 11 Aside from the general tips, you must also learn that there are various techniques that you can use in summarizing academic texts. Techniques in Summarizing: 1. Use of Graphic Organizers The first technique is using graphic organizers. You may use “Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How” as guide questions in making or using your graphic organizer. Provided here are three examples of graphic organizers that you can use depending on the kind of text you are going to summarize. 1.1. The first graphic organizer will require you to supply key points from the text as well as the supporting details. Key Point 1 •Supporting Details ___________________________________ Key Point 2 •Supporting Details ___________________________________ Key Point 3 •Supporting Details ___________________________________ 1.2. The second graphic organizer requires you to provide important information from the text by answering the questions written inside the circles. Where did it happen ? Who were involve d in the event? What happen ed? What is the topic? Why did it happen ? 12 When did it happen ? How did it happen ? The third graphic organizer will help you identify and organize the main ideas as well as the other supporting details and evidences from the text. Using this will help you write a good summary. 1.3. What is the main idea of the text? What are the supporting details? What are the evidences or examples given? 2. Outline (traditional or modern) The second technique in summarizing is through outlining. Yes, it is also a good strategy that you can use in summarizing. The sample given shows that through outlining you can easily organize the key points, supporting points, evidences, and other important details needed in making a good summary. You can decide whether to use the traditional format or the modern format. You may use the sentence outline since your objective is to select important details from the text in order to come up with a good summary. Traditional Outline I. A. B. Modern Outline 1. 1. 2. a. b. 13 1.1 1.2 1.2.1 1.2.2 1.2.2.1 1.2.2.2 Example of outlining: I. Topic A. First Key Point 1. Supporting point 2. Supporting point a. Evidence/Sample b. Evidence Evidence/Sample B. Second Key Point 1. Supporting point 2. Supporting point a. Evidence/Sample b. Evidence/Sample Summarizing is a valuable skill needed in academic writing. You should know how to summarize properly the information that you have read, seen, or heard. Most assignments given in school require you to research, read and analyze information from different sources. Hence, it is important that you know how to restate or retell the original text using your own words in order to avoid plagiarism. Also, your knowledge in summarizing is vital in writing your reports and research papers particularly on writing the review of related literature, etc. What’s More Now that you have learned what is summarizing and other related concepts such as the tips and the techniques in summarizing, it is time that you answer the following activities. Activity 4: Reading Time! Directions: Read the following article very carefully and identify key points in the text. Aggressive Driving Should be Avoided Aggressive driving is a phenomenon, which has only got the public worried. The National Highway Traffic Safety Council (NHTSC) defines aggressive driving as the “operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property”. Actions such as running red lights, improper passing, overtaking on the left, improper lane change, failing to yield, improper turns, running stop signs, tail gaiting, careless driving, and speeding are examples of 14 aggressive driving. Such actions are dangerous to other road users. Aggressive driving should be avoided because it causes crashes, injuries and fatalities. The first reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes crashes. According to NHTSC between 78 percent (excessive speed) and 100 percent (improper passing) of the cases of aggressive driving resulted in traffic crashes and 96 percent of the drivers cited for “following too closely” or tail gaiting caused crashes as a result of their aggressive driving. Moreover, ‘running red light,” “improper passing”, and “overtaking on the left” topped other categories of aggressive driving in contributing to traffic crashes. Another reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes injuries. NHTSC states that the percentages of the injuries caused by aggressive driving are, in almost all categories of aggressive driving, above 100 percent. Aggressive driving also causes fatalities.” Overtaking on the left” appears to be the most important contributing factor in traffic fatalities as it relates to aggressive driving. “Improper lane change,” “running stop sign,” and “running red light” rank second through four in terms of their contribution to traffic fatalities. The above evidence shows that aggressive driving causes crash, injuries and fatalities. Hence, aggressive driving should be avoided. Since the opening on the North-South Highway, the number of kilometers of roads in the country has increased by one percent while the number of vehicle miles driven has increased by 35 percent. More cars and more drivers are also on the road leading to more aggressive drivers. After you have read and comprehended the text above, you are now going to complete the notes of the key points from the text. 1. Aggressive driving is_______________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 2.

Understanding Calories A calorie, also known as kilocalorie, is a unit of energy. This unit represents the energy required to heat a kilogram of water on degree Celsius. While people generally link the term calorie with food, it is a unit of measurement that can be applied to any substance possessing energy. For instance, there are 8200 calories in a litter (about one quart) of gasoline. Calories describe the potential energy in food to maintain bodily functions, grow or repair tissue, and perform mechanical work such as exercise. Food calories may take the form of fat, carbohydrates, or proteins. Once consumed, enzymes act on these nutrients through metabolic processes and break them into their perspective categories of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. These molecules travel through the blood stream to specific cells where they are absorbed for immediate use or sent on to the final stage of metabolism where they release their stored energy through the process of oxidation. The number of calories burned during an exercise depends on various factors including body weight and the type of exercise. For example, an individual weighing 59 kilograms (130 pounds) would expend roughly 500 calories per hour swimming or playing basketball. However, this same person would burn an estimated 200 walking or playing table tennis. In order to survive and maintain body weight, the average individual requires approximately 2000 to 2500 calories per day. Gaining or losing weight is a simple process. Add and subtract 7,700 calories over the course of time to gain or lose a kilogram. Nutrition has nothing to do with it. It is all about calories. What summarizing technique did you use?

The modern comic book came in the early 1930s in the United States as a giveaway premium to promote the sale of the whole range of household products such as cereal and cleanser. The comic books, which are printed in bright colors to attract the attentions of potential customers, proved so popular that some publishers decided to produce comic books that would come out on a monthly basis and would sell for a dime each. Though comic strips had been reproduced in publications prior to this time, the Famous Funnies comic book, which was started in 1934, marked the first occasion that a serialized book of comics was attempted. Early comic books reprinted already existing comic strips and comics based on known characters, however, publishers soon began introducing original characters developed specially for comic books. Superman was introduced in Action Comics in 1938, and Batman was introduced a year later. The tremendous success of these superhero comic books led to the development of numerous comic books on a variety of topics, though superhero comic book predominated. Astonishingly, by 1945, approximately 160 different comic books were being published in the United States each month, and 90 percent of US children were said to read comic books on a regular basis.
