Making a summary

Slide 1 - Diapositive

Why a summary?
  • You are engaged with the material, which means you are already learning.
  • Distinguishing main and secondary issues
  • Gives overview

Slide 2 - Diapositive

Problems
  • My summary is (as) long(er) as the original text
  • How do I know what is important?

Slide 3 - Diapositive

Main and secondary issues
  • Main issues:  the important things from the text
These should be in your summary!

Slide 4 - Diapositive

So what are side issues?

The minor issues from the text

Examples

Details


You leave these out in your summary!

Sources
Unless your teacher explicitly tells you to learn a source, you do not have to summarise it (= side note)

Tip: do review your made assignment with the source carefully.
Learning questions
This book notes the main learning questions for this chapter/section.

Tip: include them in your summary and answer them! (=key issues)

In history and geography, they are also called the ‘know and be able to’.
Summary of the text
Gebruik dezelfde kopjes en vat hieronder belangrijkste zaken samen.

Tip: gebruik tekens om wat overzicht te krijgen, zoals:
--> (gevolg)
= (conclusie, uitkomst)
Etc.
Thickly printed words
Zijn begrippen waar je de definitie (=betekenis) van moet kennen.
Neem ze op in je samenvatting

Om begrippen te leren, kun je eventueel ook dezelfde strategie om woordjes te leren gebruiken (kaartjesmethode bijv.)
