Webster's calls a summary the "general idea in brief form"; it's the distillation, condensation, or reduction of a larger work into its primary notions. (“Reading Quest Strategies | Summarizing”) 1. Somebody Wanted But So. The strategy helps students generalize, recognize cause and effect relationships, and find main ideas. Somebody Wanted But So Then (Who is the (What did the (What was the (How was the (Tell how text about?) main character problem problem the story want?) encountered?) solved?) ends. Little Red She wanted She She ran A Riding Hood to encountered away, crying woodsman take cookies a for help. heard her to wolf and saved her sick pretending her from grandmother. to be her the wolf. grandmother.  2. SAAC Method. This method is particularly helpful in summarizing any kind of text. SAAC is an acronym for “State, Assign, Action, Complete.” Each word in the acronym refers to a specific element that should be included in the summary State Assign Action Complete (the name of the (the name of the (what the author is (complete the article, book, or author doing (example: sentence or story) tells, explains)) summary with keywords and important details) “The Boy Who Aesop (a Greek Tells what happens Cried Wolf” storyteller) when a shepherd boy repeatedly lies to the villagers about seeing a wolf  3. 5 W's, 1 H. This technique relies on six crucial questions: who, what, when where, why, and how. These questions make it easy to identify the main character, important details, and main idea.  4. First Then Finally. This technique helps students summarize events in chronological order. First: What happened first? Include the main character and main event/action. Then: What key details took place during the event/action? Finally: What were the results of the event/action? Features of Academic Text. Features of Academic Text.  Language of Academic Text -Promotes and affords a kind of thinking different from everyday language. 2. Essays – Essays usually help you show how deep you have learned a topic or lesson. Student essays vary in length and formality, but they always contain three parts: Introduction, Main Body, Conclusion. 3. Thesis - You will probably have to write longer texts when and if you decide to enroll in a post graduate course in the future. Longer texts include Master's level and theses (typically 60,000 to 80,000 words) and Doctor's level (Ph.D.) dissertations (typically 10,000 to 20,000 words) 4. Research Articles - Research articles are written mainly for a specialist audience, meaning other researchers, academics and postgraduate students. They usually contain the following parts 2. 5. Case studies – These may be found in any discipline, though they are most common in disciplines such as humanities, example business, sociology, and law. They are primarily descriptive. They are in depth studies into the lives of particular individuals/subjects. 6. Reports – This does not mean the report that you usually do in front of your classmates. The purpose of reports is to describe what happened and discuss and evaluate its importance. Reports are found in different disciplines, such as science, law, and medicine. DIFFERENCE OF LANGUAGE USED IN ACADEMIC TEXTS FROM VARIOUS DISCIPLINES Academic text or language is typically used for textbooks, tests, in classrooms and any other discipline related to academics. It is very different from the structure of vocabulary and everyday conversations through social interactions. Academic text is a formal way to present words and terms typical for the field SPECIFIC IDEAS CONTAINED IN VARIOUS ACADEMIC TEXTS The specific ideas in various academic text are dependent on the field of academic text one is reading. Humanities texts discuss more about the various human expressions, such as art and languages, while the sciences contain the scientific method that discuss the objective results of an experiment or the specific research methodology. EXAMPLES OF NON- ACADEMIC TEXTS ARE THE FOLLOWING: Email messages – Simple and informal. They are sent or received over a computer network and can be sent to multiple recipients and carry multiple attachments at the same time.  Personal opinions - are examples of non- academic texts that can be communicated through essay writing or in any other form. You can express your own opinion on the subject. Your own opinion may be non-factual or baseless thus, anything that has no reference is considered non-academic  Newspapers – are non-academic texts simply because the content is not intended for academic use. Sometimes, you need to verify the content before accepting the statement in the newspapers, especially with the proliferation of fake news. Some writers are not realistic and are relying on fictitious, sensationalized stories so that their newspapers will sell  Magazine – is another kind of non-academic text which is usually used for leisure time. That is why magazines are usually placed in a noticeable area in the office for visitors to browse or read while waiting to be called in for their appointment or for employees who are taking a break.  Blog articles or social media posts – are non- academic reading or writing. Blogs or social media contents can add more ideas about a particular thing but it’s not good to be a source of research, like for a thesis, except if your topic is about social media. Bloggers or social media personalities are very popular when it comes to website content writing.. POINT OF VIEW OF NON- ACADEMIC TEXTS Subjective and personal – It is based on personal opinions and feelings rather than on facts that come from reliable sources like research papers do.  Asking rhetorical questions – Non- academic texts may not necessarily answer any question it has though it may give an obvious answer. Usually, the writer simply lays the answer to be discovered by the reader.. Rule Breaker – rules in spelling, grammar and other writing mechanics need not be followed by non academic writers THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS HAVE A EXCELLENT DAY
