If you handed in a hard copy and need to revise or complete it, attach your newer version to the old one before you hand it in, please.

A summary is a short restatement of the main events and essential ideas of a text.
The summary will be much shorter than the original.
You will not insert your own opinions and ideas into a summary.
You will write your summary in your own words.
A good summary of fiction will include characters, setting, and important details from the plot, in order.
Drawing a story map can help you create a summary.
You need events from the beginning, the middle, and the end.
