Summary information
Summary information
The main idea, aka the main point, can be determined by asking what is the one piece of information the author wants me to know? This can be explicitly stated - something you can literally "quote" (if you do, use quotation marks), or something you can paraphrase (restate in your own words).
The most important information (other than the mian idea) can probably be best discerned by looking for the order of the information (chronological? importantce? steps in a process?), but not always. Look for facts that support - or prove - the mian idea. Can be quotes or paraphrased.
Review information
Review information
This is the part that has to be completely original from your POV. Be specific and authentic. Use all the sentences you need to get your ideas across. If there isn't much for me here, there won't be much for you in the gradebook.
