C. Presentation

Extracting Information (The student will read the

summarization.)
“Our lesson for today is all about extracting
information. The first is summarization, who
can read what is summarization?”

Extracting Information from a Text Using

a Summary

Summarization
Helps you to determine essential ideas and
consolidate important details that support
them.
It also enables you to focus on key words
and phrases of an assigned text that are
worth noting and remembering.

To summarize is to retell a story in your own

words. Writing a summary requires you to
make use of your own words, make the
original composition shorter, and tell only
the important points in the beginning, middle
and end.

“Thank you. Summarization helps us to

determine the important details in a text. It
also helps us to remember the ideas from a “Not yet Ma’am.”
text.”
“Have you ever tried to summarize a text or
a story?” “Yes, Ma’am.”

“For example, when we read a story and we

are going to retell a story, we just tell the
important happenings in the story. We make
the story shorter to easily understand by the
reader. Right?”

“When you are summarizing don’t forget

these things. Because they are the important
details in the text."

Don’t forget also the

who (who are the characters),
what (what did the characters want),
where (where did the story happen),
when (when did the story happen),
why (state the conflict) and
how (how did the story end).

“These things are the most important when

(The student will read the text.)
you are summarizing.”

“So here is the process of writing a

summary. Can you please read the text.”

The process of writing summarization

1. Read the material and identify the

main ideas. Distinguish the main
ideas from the detail.
2. Write the main ideas in phrase form.
The main ideas can be noted in a list,
in a topic web, or in the left column
of two column notes.
3. Begin the summary with an
introductory statement.
4. Turn the main ideas into sentences,
occasionally including details when it
is necessary to convey the main idea.
5. Combine the sentences into one or
more paragraphs. “Yes, Ma’am.”
6. Use transition words to connect the
sentences and the paragraphs.
7. Proofread the summary for (The students will retell a story that
punctuation, spelling, sentence he/she have read.)
structure, and content.
“Have you ever read a book? Or watched a
movie?”

“Can you retell the story of the book that you

have read?” “None, Ma’am.”

“Very good. Thank you for sharing a story to

all of us. And that is an example of
summarizing.” (The student will read what is precis.)

“Anymore?”

“Alright. So, let’s discuss the other type of

extracting information.”

“Could you please read.”

Extracting Information from a Text Using

a Precis

The word précis, and pronounced as

“prei·see” is derived from French
language which means summary.

Précis writing involves summarizing

a document to extract the maximum
amount of information, then
conveying this information to a
reader in minimum words.

A précis is a clear, compact, logical,

short summary of a passage. It
preserves only the essential or (The students listen carefully.)
important ideas of the original.

A precis is the gist of a passage

expresses in as few words as
possible.
“A precis should give all essential
points so that anyone reading it will
be able to understand the idea
expressed in the original passage.”

Not that precis writing must always

be shorter than the original. “Yes Ma’am.”
It should express only the main
theme as briefly as possible.
 Precis writing is an exercise in
compression.
(Each of student will read the rules.)
Only the essence of the passage
expressed in as few words as
possible.

“Is it clear?”

“So, we have rules in making a precis and

here they are.”

(The teacher will ask the students to read.)

Rules in making a precis

1. Attentively read the source text.

Make a list of the bullet points to always
have them in front of you;
2. Highlight its main features,
arguments and points;
3. Make a list of the used evidence.
4. Research any information you find
unfamiliar.;
5. Identify call-to-actions. These may
become the main motives the author was “Yes Ma’am.”
trying to convey;
6. Make an evaluation of how the
writer showed key points of his work;
7. Make a thesis restatement.
8. Write a brief summary for each
part of the article.
9. Give explanation of the piece,
using your own words.
10. Reread the initial text and
compare it to your summary.

“Do you understand the precis?”

(The students listen attentively.)

“Okay, let’s move to the paraphrasing.”

Extracting Information from a Text Using

a Paraphrase

By paraphrasing, you’re proving that you

understand the content from the source you
are referring to.

“The paraphrase alters the wording of the

passage without changing its meaning. It
retains the basic logic of the argument, its
sequence of ideas, and even the examples
used in the passage.”

“It does not matter yet whether you agree or

disagree with the passage; it only matters
that you comprehend what the passage says.”

“Here are the steps on how to paraphrase.”

1. read the passage carefully to

understand its meaning.
2. confirm meaning of any terms you do
not understand, and substitute
synonyms for the passage’s more
challenging terms.
3. re-state the passage sentence by
sentence in your own words.
4. fine tune the sentence construction to
make it read smoothly.

The final product should read smoothly and

be able the same length as the original.

“Remember that paraphrase is written in

your own words.” (The students raise their hand)
“So here are some examples of a
paraphrased sentence.”

Original – Every year, thousands of tourists

visit Gabaldon Falls. (The students will try to paraphrase the
given example.)
Paraphrase – Gabaldon Falls is visited by
thousands of people every year.
“Yes Ma’am.”
Original- – Michelangelo painted the ceiling
of the Sistine Chapel. “The paraphrase alters the wording of
the passage without changing its
Paraphrase – It was Michelangelo who meaning.”
painted the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling.

“Now, who wants to try to paraphrase this

one.”

Original – The tornado hit the town.

Original- Symptoms of the flu include fever

and nasal congestion.

“Thank you for cooperation.”

“Do you understand the paraphrasing?”

“Again, what is paraphrasing?”

“Very good.”

V. Activity

“Now let’s have an activity. You are going

to create a summary of the story.””

Instruction: Read the story. Then you will

create a summary.

Once upon a time, a ferocious lion lived in a

dense African jungle. The lion always took
his afternoon nap under the shade of a big
tree in the bushes. One day, a small playful
mouse saw the lion and decided to
investigate closer. The mouse found the
lion’s mane enticing and jumped on his head
to play in the lion’s dense mane. This
annoyed the lion as he woke up from his
slumber. He caught the mouse and roared at
him for being a pest. The lion was about to
crush the little mouse to death when the
mouse began squeaking, pleading with the
lion to spare his life. He told the lion that if
he spares his life, the mouse will help him in
return someday. The lion was amused at the
mouse’s words and decided to spare his life.
One day when the lion was strolling through
the jungle, he got caught in a hunter’s net.
The lion frantically tried to tear the net apart
or bite through it. But he was unsuccessful as
his claws and teeth were not sharp enough to
cut through the net. The lion begins to roar,
pleading for help from anybody who might
be passing by. The mouse who lived nearby
heard the lion and rushed to help him.

With his sharp teeth, the mouse nibbled

through the net. He freed the lion, and both
of them fled the place. After a while, they
reached the spot where they first met, and
the lion thanked the mouse immensely for
his help. He confessed that he
underestimated the mouse’s offer before but
now understood that everybody needs
support at some point. Since then, both the “The answer of the students may vary”
lion and the mouse became best friends.
