Summaries are in the service of your own argument! Pick and choose the details that will set your readers up for your argument. 

Summaries are shorter than the original! 

Summaries are objective! You have to remain neutral and unbiased. A reader should not be able to tell your opinion on the original text. 

Summaries are engaging to read! Use strong verbs instead of "he says" or similar bland language.

Summaries cite to their originals!
