Holiday Summary!

Hello Everyone!

We have just finished writing our very first Nonfiction Summary over our Holiday Research Project.

I want you to Evaluate the summary in order to determine if it is a GOOD Summary.

Purpose of a Summary:
to reduce large sections of text to essential and important points and main ideas

Qualities of a Summary:
1. A Main Idea
2. Brief sentences that give important details of each topic
3. Focused on author's purpose (Persuade, Inform, or Entertain)

Leave a comment to explain your answer.
