In 3–5 sentences, answer the following questions. 1. What information should a summary include? (Include at least three characteristics of a good summary in your response.) 2. Identify one thing that a summary should not include, and explain why. (4 points) And make it as short as pssible and make it look like a 7th grader typed it out.
A good summary should include the main points or ideas from the original text. It should be concise and brief, using your own words to capture the author's intent. Avoid personal opinions or additional information not found in the original text. One thing a summary should not include is irrelevant details that do not contribute to the main message, as it may distract the reader from understanding the main points of the text.
