1. Read and understand the prompt or writing directions. What are you being asked to write about?
Example: Summary of a Story
Write a summary of the story. Your writing will be scored on how well you:
.
identify and discuss the characters, conflict, and setting;
.
retell the important events of the plot (complications, climax, and resolution) in your own words,
except for quotations; and
.
express the underlying meaning (theme) of the story;
2. Read, think about, and understand the text. Review the story to make sure you know it well. Use a
dictionary or context clues to figure out the meaning of any important words that you don’t know.
3. Take notes. Write down the important events as they occur in the story.
4. Write an introduction. State the title and author of the story. Briefly describe the setting, characters,
and conflict.
5. Write the body paragraphs. Retell the story in your own words. Describe the most important events
from the story including the climax and resolution. The number of body paragraphs you have will depend
on the length of the piece.
6. Write a conclusion. Describe how the conflict is resolved. Explain the theme (underlying meaning of
the story). What comment is the author making about humankind or society?
7. Revise. Have you indented all paragraphs? Have you captured the main idea of the story? Have you
included the most important details? Is there sentence variety? Have you avoided writing short, choppy
sentences? Are there transitional words and phrases to connect ideas?
8. Proofread and edit. Check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Is the verb tense consistent? Are
all names spelled correctly and capitalized? Have you avoided writing run-on sentences and sentence
fragments?
9. Write your draft. Use blue or black ink. Skip lines. Write on one side of the paper only. Include a title
on the top line.
10. Read your summary one last time before you turn it in. Look for careless spelling, punctuation, and
grammar errors, especially omitted words or letters. Cross out errors neatly with a single line and write the
correction above.
