Steps to Writing a Summary: Primary Document
You will write a summary of Article II of the Constitution of the United States. To accomplish this you will:
•State the main idea of the article
•Identify the most important details that support the main idea
•Write your summary in your own words, except for quotations
•Express the underlying message of the article, not just the superficial details
 Read and make sure you understand the information in the text.
 What are you being asked to write about?
 Read, think about, and understand the words in the article.
 What are the words or ideas you don’t understand? Learn their meaning before writing the summary.
 Take Note:
 Write down and keep track of the main ideas of the piece.
 Write a single sentence that says what the piece is about:
 What is the main idea of the piece? What is the surface meaning? The deeper meaning?
 Organize supporting ideas:
 What details in the piece support the main idea? Arrange them in order of appearance in the piece.
 Write the first draft of the summary:
 The summary should be no more than one third the link of the piece being summarized
 Focus on the main point of the piece and the supporting details
 Use your own words to write the summary ( you may use quotations)
 Revise and edit your work:
 Have you used sentence variety in your writing? Are there transitional words and phrases connecting ideas?
 How is your spelling, grammar and punctuation? Are names spelled correctly and capitalized?
 Have you avoided run on sentences and sentence fragments?
 Write the final draft of the summary:
 Please type your work, double space, use 12 point font.
 Reread your summary one last time before turning it in.
