C. Lesson Proper
C. Lesson Proper:
Summarizing refers to providing an abridged version of the narrative.
Summary or a precis is a synopsis or digest of the essence of an entire text.
Some helpful tips in summarizing are the following:
1. Read the text you are about to summarize over and over again.
2. Identify the main idea of the text you are planning to summarize.
3. Put your feet into the readers’ shoes.
4. Ensure a smooth flow of ideas by using appropriate transitional devices.
5. Limit your summary to a few sentences.
6. Do not forget to proofread your work.
7. You can use the framework below to organize your thoughts for a smooth
sailing summary.
Sample paragraph
A tornado is a powerful, twisting windstorm. It begins high in the air,
among the winds of a giant storm cloud. People who have watched a tornado’s
howling winds reach down from the sky have said it’s the most frightening thing
they have ever seen.in some parts of the United States, these windstorms are
called twisters or cyclone.
Sentence Summary…
Tornadoes are frightening, powerful, twisting windstorms sometimes
called twisters or cyclones that start in giant storm clouds.

On the other hand, as the University of Toronto said, summarizing a
text, or distilling its essential concepts into a paragraph or two, is a useful
study tool as well as good writing practice. A summary has two aims: (1) to
reproduce the overarching ideas in a text, identifying the general concepts that
run through the entire piece, and (2) to express these overarching ideas using
precise, specific language. When you summarize, you cannot rely on the
language the author has used to develop his or her points, and you must find
a way to give an overview of these points without your own sentences becoming
too general. You must also make decisions about which concepts to leave in
and which to omit, taking into consideration your purposes in summarizing
and also your view of what is important in this text. Here are some methods for
summarizing: First, prior to skimming, use some of the previewing techniques.
1. Include the title and identify the author in your first sentence. The first
sentence or two of your summary should contain the author’s thesis, or
central concept, stated in your own words. This is the idea that runs
through the entire text–the one you’d mention if someone asked you:
“What is this piece/article about?”
2. When summarizing a longer article, try to see how the various stages in
the explanation or argument are built up in groups of related
paragraphs. Divide the article into sections if it isn’t done in the
published form. Then, write a sentence or two to cover the key ideas in
each section.
3. Omit ideas that are not really central to the text. Don’t feel that you must
reproduce the author’s exact progression of thought. On the other hand,
be careful not to misrepresent ideas by omitting important aspects of the
author’s discussion). In general, omit minor details and specific
examples.
4. Avoid writing opinions or personal responses in your summaries
5. Be careful not to plagiarize the author’s words. If you do use even a few
of the author’s words, they must appear in quotation marks. To avoid
plagiarism, try writing the first draft of your summary without looking
back at the original text.

Figures 1 and 2. You may write your answer in the box provided. (This
activity will be given 5 points).
Tornadoes are not the only whirling windstorms that move through the
earth’s air. Dust devils, hurricanes and typhoons all have twisting winds. But
these windstorms differ from tornadoes in important ways.

New wildflower species found in El Nido
(Romar Miranda-Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Puerto Princesa City- A new begonia species was discovered in El Nido
town in Palawan province and was named after local resident and naturalist
Will Cabanillas for his contribution in field exploration and biodiversity
conservation.
Rene Alfred Anton Bustamante, who first documented the wild flower on
2017, said by phone that the discovery of the new begonia species, called
Begonia cabanillasii, was published in global scientific journal, Phytotaxa, on
Thursday by a team of researchers composed of himself, Yu Pin Ang, Danilo
Tandang and John Michael Agcaoili.
“We could choose other plants that we have discovered to name after
(Cabanillas), but we chose this one because this is really attractive. We wanted
to do something nice for him,” Bustamante said.
Cabanillas, who is also a bird-watcher, has in many occasions led the
research team to a natural habitats of plants found only in Palawan.
There are now 23 Begonia species that can be found in Palawan but B.
cabanillasii can be easily distinguished from the other related species because
of its “distinct hair,” thickness of leaf, and “compact” habitat. Its staminate
flower pedicel ranges from 15 to 25 millimeters, with four white and pink petals.
Bustamante hoped that the recent discovery of B.cabanillasii would
encourage the younger generations of Palawenos to guard the biodiversity and
conserve the natural wonders of their province.
