    How to summarize

    A collage of vintage photos: a bride and groom, a woman in a chair, a portrait of a young woman, and a classroom of students. The images appear aged and black-and-white.

    1. Read each story carefully.
    2. Identify who the main character is- their name, age, origen, location, timeframe.
    3. Identify what the general topic or purpose of the story is: condense/categorize only the important information that would help someone who hasn’t read it understand what it is about.
    4. Write a short summary with this information in your own words in Spanish.

    Practice summarizing with a partner

    Another effective way to help you get a deeper understanding of a story is to elicit basic information about the main idea or purpose of the story by asking a partner who, what, where, and when questions in Spanish.
