1) Begin with a discussion of
what a summary is and why we summarize. Students and teacher openly discuss
topic together and teacher will encourage student ideas and thoughts.
2) Distribute Handout 1
“Summarizing Expository Text.” Inform them that handout should be kept in
binders, as they will use these as a reference/guide when summarizing later
passages. Use handout as shared reading exercise. Discuss scaffolding on
handout and ask questions regarding scaffolding just discussed to ensure
comprehension.
3) Post overhead
transparency/pass out Handout 2 and pass out Handout 2.1 “Summary of ___”.
Teacher will read aloud Handout 2 to class from overhead, then ask class to
come up with main idea and important points. This will be a group effort.
4) Ask students to quickly get
into groups of 3-4. Pass out Handout 2.2 “Global Warning Alert!” to each
student in group. Read together as class, where both teacher and student read
parts of article. Discuss any confusion and clarify any vocabulary or content
that may be confusing. Then, have groups fill out next section on their own
using Handout 2.2 and Handout 2.1 (the article). When groups are finished,
have class discussion of findings. Ensure students are on right track. Have
groups repeat process for paragraph 3 and then discuss. Teacher walks around
room during this activity.
Review activity and rules for
summarizing by questioning class.
Teacher will explain homework, as
well as note further review of summary writing the following day.

1) Students are responsible for
taking notes as they see fit, as well as contributing to the discussion to
show whether or not they have an understanding of the topic about to be
discussed in detail. This will help the teacher determine the extent of
scaffolding needed for this topic.
2) Students are responsible for
contributing in shared reading exercise and asking questions when information
is unclear. Students are also responsible for understanding the scaffolding
process explained in the handout, and should take an active role in answering
questions regarding its contents.
3) Students are to follow along
with passage on overhead, as well as help teacher determine main idea and
important points. Once there is overall agreement that meets teacher’s
approval, students are to record group findings on Handout 2.2 in “Paragraph
1” (first section only). Teacher is to walk around and ensure students are
filling in first section.
4) Have students summarize the
next paragraph of the article (paragraph 1 was covered on overhead as sample
paragraph) using Handout 2.2, and fill in information gathered. Once
completed, students are to discuss with class and teacher their findings.
They are then to repeat the process with paragraph 3. There will be a class
discussion on this paragraph when completed as well. Groups will finish
worksheet with writing the summary collaboratively. Volunteer from each group
will read summary aloud. Finish individually for homework if not completed.
Class offers answers about
summary review to show knowledge gained via exercises today.
Students are to copy down
homework in agendas and ask questions if unclear.

Homework:
1)
Cut out or print a relatively brief article from a newspaper or magazine
(Internet articles acceptable from valid sources (i.e. Time, Newsweek, New
York Times, etc.) which you will read, annotating and highlighting important
information from the article.
2)
On a separate piece of paper, staple the article to this paper and write
a summary of what you have read. Include the main idea and other important/relevant
information. (Responses should be a few sentences, ¼ page maximum.)
Summarizing Expository Text
A
summary: a short restatement of the main idea and important details in a piece
of writing or another work.
Steps in Summarizing:
- Read the
selection carefully, more than once. Before you begin to write, make sure
you understand what the selection says.
- Highlight
or make a list of the most important information in the first paragraph,
including the main idea.
- Try to
rewrite one or two sentences that include all of the important
information in the paragraph.
·
Use your own
words.
·
Do not include
your own opinion.
·
Do not change the
author’s meaning.
- Repeat
steps 2 and 3
for each subsequent paragraph, keeping them in the same order in which the
information appears in the reading selection.
- Copy your
summary sentences into a paragraph, keeping them in the same order in
which the information appears in the reading selection.
- Read your paragraph. Can someone who has not read
the selection understand the main points? Summary should be no more than
one-fourth to one-third the length of the original passage.

Summarizing a Single
Paragraph
(from “Global Warming Alert!”)
Global warming is caused when carbon dioxide (CO2)
gets into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide acts like the glass walls and
ceiling of a greenhouse. It lets sunlight in to warm things up, but it doesn't
let the heat escape. Scientists say the same thing is happening to our planet,
making it a dangerously warmer place. As many as one million species of land plants and animals are in danger of
becoming extinct if global warming continues. According to a
recent study, the warming of the Earth could destroy as many as 37 percent of
the world’s living species by the year 2050!

Global
Warming Alert!
If global warming
continues, 1 million kinds of plants and
animals could be extinct
by the year 2050

What is Global Warming?
Global warming is caused when carbon
dioxide (CO2) gets into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide acts like the glass
walls and ceiling of a greenhouse. It lets sunlight in to warm things up, but
it doesn't let the heat escape. Scientists say the same thing is happening to
our planet, making it a dangerously warmer place. As many as one million species
of land plants and animals are in danger of becoming extinct
if global warming continues. According to a recent study, the warming of the
Earth could destroy as many as 37 percent of the world’s living species by the
year 2050!
Alarming Findings
The study was conducted by researchers in England
who used computer models to predict what would happen to certain species if
global warming continues. The team studied 1,103 species in Australia,
Brazil, Costa Rica, Europe, Mexico and South Africa. These regions represent
about 20 percent of the Earth’s land area. The study predicted that Australia would lose over half of its more than 400 butterfly species by 2050.
"We're already seeing biological
communities respond very rapidly to climate warming," said Chris Thomas, a
biologist
at the University of Leeds in England, and the head of the study. The study
found that between 15 and 37 percent of the studied species could be extinct or
nearly extinct by 2050. There are about 14 million plant and animal species on
Earth.
What Should be Done? Researchers say businesses and
governments must create new technology that limits the production of greenhouse
gases. These gases, such as carbon dioxide, pollute the environment.
Researchers also say that limiting carbon dioxide emissions
could save 15-20 percent of species from extinction. The U.S.
is a big part of the problem. Although the U.S. has about 4 percent of the
world’s people, it produces about 25 percent of the pollution that leads to
global warming. A special agreement called the United Nations’ Kyoto Protocol
would limit, or cut down on, the amount of harmful gases that countries are
allowed to produce. But President Bush has refused to sign the treaty, saying
it would hurt America’s businesses.
Plants
and animals aren’t the only creatures that are in danger. Humans are at risk,
too. Many scientists believe the Earth's rising temperatures could eventually
melt polar ice caps, cause sea levels to rise and worsen flooding.
