Summarising

Summarising

This week in English we have been learning to summarise and use it in our writing and literacy. To summarise means to give a brief statement or use the main points of a paragraph and shorten it. You can use summarising in any literacy piece.

An example before we summarise: 

"Jen never liked P.E, she was always made fun of in school. Until later in life a friend made her go to the hospital, she later found out she had hip dysplaysia. Now jen became a personal trainer to encourage and support people who went through what she did."

How to summarise:

1. Take the main points of the story and bullet point them. e.g:

• Jen never liked P.E
• Jen later found she had hip dysplasia
• Now Jen became a personal trainer 

      2. Now to summarise you need to use the main components you found and put them into a sentence e.g: 

"Jen never liked P.E, Jen later found the reason... she had hip dysplaisa. Now Jen became a personal trainer to help others." 

Now you have a complete sentence built up of all the main points from the story, we have created a shorter and simpler version of the first paragraph. 

Why we use summarising:

We use summarising to give a shorter description of a story or piece of literacy, as it creates an easier version to understand rather than reading a whole paragraph.

Overcoming challenges

This week in English we have been setting ourselves challenges e.g: for community, personal activities or interviewing an athlete . I chose to create a project for the community.

 I believe i can introduce something fun and exciting to a community where everyone doesn't have the same physical attribute but can still participate.

My big question is: what activity/sport can be introduced to the community that everyone can use no matter the physical ability.
My idea is to create an activity or game that will build interest for the community while both having fun and becoming fitter.

• Ideas so far: 

1. Bungee cord run 
2. Bouncy pillow
3. Climbing centre
4. New High school swimming pool
5. Ice skating centre
