Read the paragraph from which the above examples were taken.. 1"It was natural that a man like Franklin should be sought out for public office. 2He began on the local level as Justice of the Peace, Philadelphia Postmaster, and Clerk of the General Assembly of Philadelphia. 3In the troubled years before the French and Indian War he wrote numerous tracts, such as 'Plain Truth' (1747) and 'Plan for Settling the Western Colonies' (1756) which dealt with Pennsylvania problems. 4In 1757 Franklin was sent to England to serve as agent of the Pennsylvania legislature. 5He remained there, except for a year's respite in 1763-1764, until 1775. 6During those years he became an agent for several colonies... 7gradually he came to be the spokesman for all the colonies. 8To the English he was as close to an American Ambassador as there was." Reread the condensed phrases you created for the sentences in this paragraph. State in one sentence, or at the most two sentences, the basic idea of the paragraph. Remember, the paragraph summary is more general than the sentence summary. But it may need some detail not found in your condensed phrases in order to be accurate and smooth. Type your paragraph summary.
Alexis1415:
do you have any guesses?
Alexis1415:
sorry idea of what you should write*
hannieee:
not really. I understand the task but am not sure how to condense it all into one or two sentences.
Alexis1415:
ok do you think anything here is really important and stands out compared to the rest?
hannieee:
The fact that he was sought out for public office.
hannieee:
?
hannieee:
and that he wrote tracts?
Astro:
Ok that's good, What part are we answering?
hannieee:
I have to summarize the whole paragraph into one or two sentences.
Astro:
Do you have a sentence so far?
hannieee:
No i do not.
Astro:
Ok, Well do you have any starting ideas that we could turn into a sentance?
hannieee:
The fact that he was sought out for public office and that he wrote tracts
hannieee:
I think those are maybe the most important details. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Astro:
No you're right, Those are important details, How do you think we can turn that into a couple sentences?
hannieee:
Franklin was sought out for public office. As well as this, he wrote numerous tracts and was sent to England as agent of the Pennsylvania legislature.
hannieee:
maybe something like that.
Astro:
I think that sounds great, Anything to add?
hannieee:
I don't think so. I have to write the keywords from each sentence now.
hannieee:
Which I could also use some help with If you are able.
Astro:
Sure, What are the keywords?
hannieee:
That's what I'm not sure of. Each sentence is numbered and I need keywords from each of them.
Astro:
Let's make it easy, Start with the first sentance
hannieee:
alright
Astro:
What would be a good keyword for the first sentance?
hannieee:
final, Franklin, spectacular
hannieee:
is that wwong?
hannieee:
or am i missing something?
Astro:
I think spectacular would be good!
hannieee:
just spectacular?
Astro:
Yeah.
hannieee:
Are you sure? Because my lesson said that from the keywords you are still supposed to be able you understand the basic idea of the sentence.
hannieee:
subject, verb, and or complement
Astro:
Oh ok, Well what do you think we should add?
hannieee:
I don't know. That's why I asked for help in the first place.
hannieee:
What do you think?
hannieee:
???
Astro:
I think we can add the 3 that you suggested
hannieee:
are you sure that that is correct?
hannieee:
What about the second question then? What do you think are the keywords?
Astro:
Well lets think..
hannieee:
second sentence*
hannieee:
great. let's think.
Astro:
So let's think of one word that would describe the whole sentance
hannieee:
I don't think that's how it works
Astro:
I was going to say that we could think of a word that would describe the sentence then look for words that are synonyms for it in the sentence
hannieee:
right.
Astro:
How about local and justice?
hannieee:
in what sentence is that?
Astro:
The second.
hannieee:
neither of those things are mentioned in the second sentence.
Astro:
"He began on the local level as Justice of the Peace, Philadelphia Postmaster, and Clerk of the General Assembly of Philadelphia."
hannieee:
That is also not in my question that I submitted.
Astro:
Then what do you need help with?
hannieee:
I needed help with the question that I submitted.
Astro:
What is the question
hannieee:
It seems like you haven't read it.
hannieee:
Its at the top.
