Unit 1 Assignment – Reading and Summarizing Digital Texts

• Choose one of the topics from the Realizeit Learning map for unit 1 to use for this assignment. Write a summary of the material in the topic. ( Using Microsoft Word for Writing)

• To successfully complete the assignment and practice unit objectives, complete your summary using these steps:
  • Read the material in your chosen topic at least twice. Monitor your attention and comprehension as you read, using your helpful inner voice and re-directing your distracting inner voice. Read actively. You can use the highlight and annotation feature in Realizeit, or you can take notes on a separate computer document or physical notebook. The important thing is that you write down the main ideas and a key point or two from each of them.
  • Review your notes. Plan your summary by identifying the main ideas and key points to include. Re-read when necessary to clarify ideas.
  • Write your summary. Start with the title of the topic and the main idea in the first sentence. Then, identify the main ideas and key points in subsequent sentences.
  • Review your summary. Make sure your summary accurately reflects the ideas in the topic. Read it aloud to make sure your writing will be clear enough for your reader.
