 * Some ideas on [|Outlining and Summarizing] (Critical Reading Strategies)


 * [|Outlining] and [|summarizing]:** Identifying the main ideas and restating them in your own words. Outlining and summarizing are especially helpful strategies for understanding the content and structure of a reading selection. Whereas outlining revels the basic structure of the text, summarizing synopsizes a selection's main argument in brief. Outlining may be part of the annotating process, or it may be done separately (as it is in this class). The key to both outlining and summarizing is being able to distinguish between the main ideas and the supporting ideas and examples. The main ideas form the backbone, the strand that hold the various parts and pieces of the text together. Outlining the main ideas helps you to discover this structure. When you make an outline, don't use the text's exact words.

[|Summarizing begins with outlining], but instead of merely listing the main ideas, a summary recomposes them to form a new text. Whereas outlining depends on a close analysis of each paragraph, summarizing also requires creative synthesis. Putting ideas together again -- in your own words and in a condensed form -- shows how reading critically can lead to deeper understanding of any text. ||

1. After your graphics and summaries on Rhythm have been revised by your teacher,

 * Record your summary paragraph of the reading in Springdoo or using Audacity. Remember to save the recording to your pc/pen-drive in case you used Audacity

NOTE**: you can practice your pronunciation by using [|SitePal] (text-to-speech bot) **-use the TRY NOW button -** Create your bot, and then write down your paragraph and have the bot read it for you. If you cannot copy the whole paragraph at once, divide it in two or three parts. Listen carefully to the pronunciation.
