Example Summary

Author Jaime O'Neill's article "There is no story in the classroom" emphasizes the problem of communication between teacher and student due to lack of student's basic knowledge. The authors support this claim by combining personal experience, evidence from recent polls, opinions from other professors, and the experimental results he performed in his own classroom. O'Neill's experiment was to do a "general knowledge" test of the unexamined 86 questions for the students on the first day of the course. In this test, "Most students frequently answered incorrect answers rather than correct answers." In the wrong answer, there are errors such as "Gravity of invention of Darwin" and "Leningrad in Jamaica". If you make the problem more complicated, the students will not ask questions. This means that their teachers think they know that they do not know. O'Neill shows that this seems to be a typical problem throughout the United States, according to the teacher, and shows the scope of this problem. O'Neill believes that common sense in society is extremely important for communication. Without these common knowledge, learning becomes more difficult as teachers and students do not use a common knowledge system. The authors show the deterioration of common sense through poll results, personal experience, other teacher's opinions, and his own experimental results.

When time runs out, the group will share the summary with the class. As an example, the summary is "application of laws that do not provide equal protection for everything does not apply to countries that cause repression and weakening." Discussion on summaries is important. Students listen to each other and explain their reasoning. The teacher checks, understands and removes misunderstandings. The final summary is negotiated and recorded in the course. Students record abstracts in handouts

This week I annotated it using the summary example and created a summary title for the class. As a class, we read the four different summaries of the same non-fiction article and put them together in 1 to 4. Four of them are the most powerful summaries, which contain clear main ideas and support the main idea details. Important details, and selection of specific words. When I moved the summary on the graph (I used a removable tape to move the summary) I annotated them using a post summary and put down the characteristics of each summary. This will help students to understand the characteristics of each level summary and to think about where their own summary is in our continuum. Students and their writing partners read and reflect their abstracts, use continuums, and annotate their abstracts

Executive summary is very important as a communication tool between academia and business. For example, members of the Faculty of Agriculture at Texas A & M University says: "The executive summary is the first interaction between the creator of the report and its target audience: decision makers, prospects, and / or colleagues, the executive summary has an impression" to provide a complex summary often Some say that an executive summary can lead decision makers and others to ignore important issues, Professor Amanda Sinclair of the University of Melbourne, this is not usually a passive process In a globalization-centered study, she said that policy makers "pressure on using simple interpretations of complex problems" and "generalizing non-political and differences in differences" "We faced the problem.
