Making Real-life and Interdisciplinary Connections: Summaries

​

Although summaries are very helpful in English classes, summaries can also benefit you in other classes you take. Summaries can even help you in every day life. Here are some ways you can APPLY summaries to your everyday life.

​

For example, you could...

• Write a summary of a chapter from your psychology book to study for an exam

• Write a summary of your notes from history class to review the important points of a lecture

• Write a summary of the instructions your boss sent to you via email and tape them to your desk for quick access

• Write a summary of a newspaper article to share with your friends on Facebook who do not have the time to read the entire article

• Write a summary of a website, highlighting the important points, so that you can judge if it will be helpful in your research for an essay or project
