In five steps to a summary: Using various texts, students will practice creating a summary step by step. Different types of texts (narrative, excerpt from a novel, anecdote, non-fiction) and varying levels of difficulty are taken into account. Therefore, this learning aid is suitable for grades 7 to 9. Students can expect many varied exercises for developing the introduction, main part, and conclusion, as well as for direct and indirect speech. An overview of text types and important terms, along with a summary of the steps necessary for writing a summary, will help students work independently and purposefully.
