How do you currently teach students in your classroom to summarize information to enhance student learning?

Generalization #1:
Students must delete, substitute, and keep some information when summarizing.
• Condensing information• Looking for patterns• Distilling (extracting) and synthesizing
information• Modeling by teachers
Research and Theory aboutResearch and Theory about
SummarizingSummarizingGeneralization #2:
To effectively delete, substitute, and keep information, students must analyze the information at a fairly deep level.
• Seems simple but requires analyzing content• Students need practice to be good at analyzing information

SummarizingSummarizingGeneralization #3:
Must be aware of explicit structure of information.
• Most writers present information with an explicit structure or pattern. The more students understand these structures, the better they are able to summarize information.

MODEL FOR SUMMARIZING Steps in Rule-Based Summarizing for
Older Students Steps in Rule-Based Summarizing for
Younger Students 1. Delete trivial material that is
unnecessary to understanding. 2. Delete redundant material. 3. Substitute subordinate terms for
more specific terms (e.g., use fish for rainbow trout, salmon, and halibut.)
4. Select a topic sentence of invent one if it is missing.
1. Take out material that is not important to understanding.
2. Take out words that repeat information.
3. Replace a list of things with a word that describes the things in the list (e.g., use trees for elm, oak, and maple).
4. Find a topic sentence. If you cannot find a topic sentence, make one up.
““Rule-Based” StrategyRule-Based” Strategy
The blue whale is the largest animal on earth. A blue whale is about 100 million times larger than the krill, one of the smallest creatures it eats. The skeleton of the blue whale can weigh about 50,000 pounds. The heart of a blue whale can be the size of a small car. The largest recorded blue whale weighed 160 tons. About how much of that weight was not the skeleton?
(taken from Prentice Hall Reading and Math Literacy Masters)
““Rule-Based” StrategyRule-Based” Strategy
After using the Rule Based Strategy the problem can be summarized as:
What is 160 tons minus 50,000 pounds?

SummarizingSummarizingb. Use Summary Frames
– Choose frame to match information type
– 6 different types of frames• Narrative• Topic-restriction-illustration• Definition• Argumentation• Problem/solution• Conversation
The Narrative/Story FrameThe Narrative/Story Frame• Who are the main characters? What
distinguishes them from other characters?• When and where did the story take place? What
were the circumstances?• What prompted the action in the story?• How did the characters express their feelings?• What did the main characters decide to do? Did
they set a goal? What was it?• How did the main characters accomplish their
goals?• What were the consequences?
The Topic-Restriction-The Topic-Restriction-Illustration FrameIllustration Frame
• Topic: What is the general statement or topic?
• Restriction: What information does the author give that narrows or restricts the general statement or topic?
• Illustration: What examples does the author give to illustrate the topic or restriction?
The Definition FrameThe Definition Frame• What is being defined? • To which general category does the
item belong? • What characteristics separate the
item from the other items in the general category?
• What are some types or classes of the item being defined?
The Definition FrameThe Definition Frame• What is being defined? Integers• To which general category does the
item belong? Rational Numbers• What characteristics separate the
item from the other items in the general category? Positive and Negative Whole Numbers and Zero
• What are some types or classes of the item being defined? 1, -3, 0
Argumentation FrameArgumentation Frame• Evidence: What information does the
author present that leads to a claim?• Claim: What does the author assert is
true? What basic statement or claim is the focus of the information?
• Support: What examples or explanations support the claim?
• Qualifier: What restrictions on the claim, or evidence counter to the claim, are presented?
Argumentation FrameArgumentation Frame
Jason says any number divided by zero is zero.
Lana says any number divided by zero is undefined.
Who is correct?
Give reasons to support your opinion.
Problem / Solution FrameProblem / Solution Frame• What is the problem?• What is a possible solution?• Are there any other solutions?• Which solution has the best chance
of succeeding?
Kissin’ CousinsKissin’ Cousins You are planning on
attending a family reunion. When you arrive there will be 10 cousins there. If you kiss each cousin hello, how many kisses are there?
Problem / Solution FrameProblem / Solution Frame• What is the problem? How many
kisses were exchanged?• What is a possible solution? 10• Are there any other solutions? 20• Which solution has the best chance
of succeeding? Depends on family heritage
The Conversation FrameThe Conversation Frame• How did the members of the conversation greet each other?• What question or topic was insinuated, revealed, or referred
to?• How did their discussion progress?
Did either person state facts? Did either person make a request of the other? Did either person make a promise to perform a certain action? Did either person demand a specific action of the other? Did either person threaten specific consequences if a demand was
not met? Did either person indicate that he values something the other did?
• How did the conversation conclude?

Summarizing is synthesizing information.
Summarizing can be verbal or written.

Combination Notes ExampleCombination Notes Example
Scientific Notation: 1. Used to express very
large or very small numbers
2. Place decimal points to create a number between 1 and 10
3. Use powers of 10 to indicate original decimal point
4. Moving to the right from the new point yields a positive exponent. Moving to the left from the new point yields a negative exponent.
5. Count the number of spaces you move.

3.2000000 00008.9
3.2 x 107 8.9 x 10-4
Summary: Scientific notation expresses very large and small numbers. It includes moving the decimal point to create numbers between 1 and 10 and express the movement of the decimal as a power of 10.
Learning Goal: Understand Scientific Notation

Summary: In addition and multiplication, the order and grouping of the numbers can be changed without affecting the outcome. One use of these properties is to facilitate in mental math. Another use would be in solving equations.
