Summarize the following:
You should start every summary with the author and the article’s title. This lets your reader know that you’re summarizing what someone else has written. For example, you can start with something like “George Shaw’s '‘Pygmalion’' is a play that addresses issues of class and culture in early twentieth-century England.” Without looking at your notes, write a first draft that includes the main point of each section in your own words. A summary shouldn’t just repeat what the original author said, so using your own words is very important.  If you absolutely must use the original author’s words, put them in quotation marks. This tells your reader those words aren’t yours. Not doing this is academic plagiarism, and it can get you in a lot of trouble. Make sure you format the quote correctly! As you write, make sure you’re only summarizing the original piece of writing. You shouldn’t be inserting your own opinions of the piece or of the events the piece covers. Instead, summarize what the original author said and retain their tone and point of view. For example, you might think that Hamlet spends a lot of time thinking and not a lot of time acting. You can say something like, "Hamlet is a man of thought, rather than action," instead of saying, "Why doesn't Hamlet do something once in a while?" You want your reader to know that you’re summarizing another person’s arguments. So you should occasionally use phrases like “the author argues,” or “the article claims” when you’re presenting those arguments. This reminds the reader that it’s not your piece, but someone else’s. In fiction pieces, you can say something like "Shakespeare's Hamlet then spends a lot of time brooding on the castle ramparts." This tells your reader you're talking about Shakespeare's play, not inventing your own story.

summary: Start with the source’s information. Work from memory to write the main point of each section. Present the material using the author’s point of view. Use language appropriate to a summary.


Summarize the following:
This can sometimes be difficult but is important for your own sanity. Don’t let him affect how you feel. Bullies generally want to know that they have control over your emotions. They absolutely don't, you do. Behave normally and don’t show fear. Act like his negative comments don’t affect you even if at first you are faking it. React by using a sense of humor, saying something such as "I'm really glad you finally found something funny to say." This will throw the bully off guard and might change the direction of the interaction. Only you are responsible for yourself and your emotions. A good way to practice is by making a list of positive attributes and reflecting on them daily. Another way is by celebrating and rewarding yourself. The more empowered you are and the more you can help yourself, the more likely you'll be able to stop the bully. Think of ways to feel at your best or strongest. Join a club or sport like track and field or drama. Get involved in school activities like yearbook or the school newspaper. You can perfect an existing talent or learn a new skill and make new friends in the process.

summary: Stay positive. Practice appreciating yourself. Stay true to yourself by honoring your unique qualities and talents.


Summarize the following:
Finding the right habitat for your chick is relatively simple. You can use a variety of different types of housing, ranging from one you purchase to one you have around the house. If you have more than one chick, make sure the habitat can comfortably accommodate all of them. Consider some of the following options for your chick’s home:  A simple cardboard box An aquarium A cat carrier A guinea pig cage Because it is so young and small, your chick is especially vulnerable to falling from its habitat or becoming prey for other animals. Keep the habitat in a space where your chick can’t fall or escape and where pets can’t gain access to her.  Consider putting a ventilated lid on the habitat for times when you are not home or unable to watch your chick. This can keep other animals out while protecting your chick from falling out of the cage. Avoid putting the habitat in any spaces that are very high off the ground. This can protect your chicks from falling too far, which can be fatal Chicks and chickens are very sensitive to temperature. It’s important to line your chick’s habitat with materials to help keep it warm, which can prevent disease or death.  Line the housing with old towels or blankets for the chick’s first few weeks of life. Make sure the lining has no loose strings, which your chick can swallow or might strangle her. Switch to a lining of straw and newspaper after a few weeks. Make sure to cover the bottom of the habitat with enough straw because the slippery surface of the newspaper can cause your chick’s legs to grow malformed. Chicks generally need to be kept warm but should also have a habitat that has a range of temperatures. Use a lamp to heat one side of the habitat while keeping the other side cooler. This allows your chick to freely decide at which temperature she feels more comfortable throughout the day.  Construct a heat source using a 100watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp or an infrared reptile heat bulb. Install either option on one side of the habitat. You can get both lamps at most pet and home stores. Make sure the temperature is a constant 90-100 degrees for the first few weeks of the chick’s life. Your chick is the best thermometer for her habitat: if she is hiding on the opposite corner of the habitat from the lamp, then it is too hot. If she is smothering herself in the blankets or along with other chicks, then you need to increase the heat. Consider keeping your chick’s habitat away from radiators or non-lamp heating devices to help maintain a warm and consistent temperature. You may also want to keep it away from drafty areas. Once you get your chick, it’s time to introduce her to her new home. You can do this by gently holding her and releasing her into the habitat. Talk to her and assure her with by patting her that she can enter and be comfortable. Consider staying with your chick for an hour or so to help her get used to her habitat.
summary: Get a dwelling. Place the habitat in a protected space. Line the habitat. Control the temperature. Introduce your chick to her habitat.
