BRIEF INTRODUCTION
What is a summary?
ELEMENTS OF A SUMMARY
A summary should answer the 4-WH Questions and 1-H Question: who, what, where,
when, and how regarding the content of the original text, include the author and the title. Then,
begin to narrate in your own words.
According to Jones (2012) “[When summarizing], we strip away the extra verbiage and
extraneous examples. We focus on the heart of the matter. We try to find the key words and
phrase that, when uttered later still manage to capture the main ideas and the crucial details
necessary for supporting them.” A summary begins with an introductory part that tells the title
of the text, who is the author and of course, the main point of the text as you see it. In short, a
summary is written in your own words but the content of it are the ideas came from the original
text that you have read.
To summarize fiction, you need to consider the basic elements: main characters,
setting, theme, and plot.
To summarize nonfiction, you need to get the most important information about a
topic in a simplest way.
Remove those irrelevant or unnecessary sentences; focus on the relevant or
important sentences.
ACTIVITIES
Activity 1: DISCOVER
Do you want to know where the cat beats the dog? Well then, read on.
Cats are better drinkers than dogs. When a cat drinks a liquid, it uses the tip of its
tongue to pull the liquid upward and then knows exactly when to snap its jaws shut before
gravity sends the liquid back to the bowl. On the other hand, the dog uses its tongue to scoop
the liquid into its mouth. It’s an inefficient and haphazard approach to hydration. A dog has a
short memory – only five minutes long. A cat can remember up to 16 hours.

Wild dogs catch their prey by chasing them. Wild cats creep up on their prey and catch
them by surprise. Cats have retractable claws that stay sharp because they are protected
inside their toes. The claws of dogs are always extended and become dull from continuous
contract with the ground when they walk.
Cats can jump and climb, giving them more choices when they need to look for food or
when they feel they are in danger. Dogs can run but can’t climb and jump. So their options
when hunting for food are limited. And when there’s a threat, the ability to escape the
predator is also limited.
