Summary Of will smiths video

For this activity, you will write a summary of Will Smith’s video. Previously, you wrote summaries with supporting details with written text. Now, you will write a summary with supporting details from a video. Be sure to pause the video and write down supporting details as you view it. 

Here is a quick reminder on how to summarize using a simple paragraph. Remember, you will be doing the same thing, only listening instead of reading to find the summary.

Click HERE for the transcript of the video. 

Again, note – There is one word used in the video that is not academically appropriate, but Will Smith is using his own vernacular and to take it out would ruin the effect of the video. Please be aware that using that type of language in an academic setting should be avoided. 

Remember to include a topic sentence:

The video titled “Fault Vs. Responsibility” by Will Smith + (strong verb) + (main idea)

Choose one of these strong verbs:

Illustrates, explains, analyzes, describes, motivates…

Watch the instructional video below. Then write a summary including a topic sentence and clear supporting details written in your own words.
