Oral Summarizing
• What are some characteristics of an effective oral summary?
Oral Summary Characteristics
• Source• Hook• Main idea• Significant details• Paraphrase• Transitions/organization• Author’s ideas (objective)• Conclusion
Practice Newspaper Presentations (20 points)
Big Idea: Your group (4-5 members) will:• 1) read a newspaper article• 2) prepare to give an oral summary of the article (each member should
speak)• 3) create 5 discussion questions[1] for the class (type and submit)• 4) present your oral summary• 5) lead a class discussion [2]•
[1] Discussions questions should be written with aim to encourage class members to think critically about the themes and details in the article that you have presented. These questions should provoke thought and discussion; they should not be simple yes/no questions.
• [2] When leading a discussion, the aim should be to encourage class members to share diverse perspectives related to a given question. Discussion leaders are most successful when they: summarize the responses that they receive for the benefit of the class, ask follow-up questions, and add their own opinions when appropriate.
