"What have you learned/noticed about the art of summarizing that you will apply this weekend?"
After sharing my summary of the Wired article with my group, it came to light that I only brushed the surface of the act of summarizing. I Analyzed each paragraph and filtered it down to one sentence. This turned an article into a collection of 9 statements. I found that this was far too elementary to accurately re-state what was said, especially because I didn't put my own voice into it.
This weekend I plan on summarizing one of my sources by distilling the general point, inserting my own voice while being sure not to change the scope of the bibliography ("putting a spin on it").
