summary of reading 1

You need to summarize John Holt’s How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading.

It should be one page, double spaced. (I’m really looking for one good paragraph on it). MLA citations

Please include there are certain things you must cover (and avoid) in a summary:

  • main idea
  • full name of author and title of the work you are summarizing
  • be concise
  • put it in your own words
  • do NOT include your opinion
  • do NOT include too much detail
  • avoid play-by-play

Pretend your audience is someone who never read the text. Your reader is relying on you for this information. You must be accurate and not misrepresent the text.
