Speccy · Answer

It's supposed to be an Objective summary.

Astro · Answer

Well, What do you think would go in an objective summary?

Speccy · Answer

A summary about the piece of text, but objective form. No personal opinions.

Great, you have a great start. What do you think the next sentence should be?

Speccy · Answer

A detail about the text with supporting evidence.

Astro · Answer

You're doing great @speccy Do you have any evidence yet?

Speccy · Answer

No.

Astro · Answer

Well, let's look and see what we can find throughout the chapter..

Astro · Answer

Do you have any details about the sisters heading home?

Speccy · Answer

I made this post because I don't have the time to write it, the summary is due today, and I have subject after subject, my study halls are after English. I have no free periods to write the summary right now.

Speccy · Answer

Yes.

I suggest starting things earlier, maybe that would help but I can't write it for you. So we are just going to have to go a bit quicker if that's fine with you? Start writing the next sentence using the details and evidence about the sisters heading home.

Speccy · Answer

We had to start yesterday, I didn't have time. Please give me a moment to find some evidence.

Still though... Sounds good, let me know what you find.

Speccy · Answer

As the sisters are heading home with Abuelita they stop because they had to get past Border patrol, they realize they forgot the birth certificates and can't get through. There is a shrine nearby and the sister's realize they still have one gift left from the Goddess Tonatzin and host a ritual to call on her for her assistance.

That's great.

Speccy · Answer

The part I am using is the part where they call on Tonatzin, but I think I have to include the part where they can't get past border patrol because that is what made them realize they had a gift left, right?

Yes, that would be great for the summary it would really hit home the meaning of it.

Speccy · Answer

The story says they barely knew their grandma, and on the way home they had some great times with tier grandma. is that a critical piece of evidence?

Great critical thinking skills, I didn't even think of that! That certainly is a key piece of evidence, great job!

What do you mean by that?

Speccy · Answer

I don't know how to converge different evidences form different parts into one evidence, our summaries are only supposed to be 5-7 sentences long.

Well, Make sure use transitions to blend the sentences together to make it flow.

Okay I have three pieces of evidence.
