Read the entire source at least twice and annotate it at least once before writing.
2. Write an opening sentence that states the author's thesis.  
3. Explain the author's main supporting ideas, reviewing your notes to make sure you have included all of them. Be careful not to plagiarize, and use quotations only where appropriate. 
4. Restate important concepts, key terms, main principles, and so on. Do not include your opinion or judge the essay in any way. 
5. Present the ideas in the order in which they originally appeared. Note that in this sense summarizing is different from paraphrasing, in which staying too close to the original order of words may be detrimental to the process.  
6. Review your summary after you complete it. Consider whether someone who has not read the original would find your summary sufficient to understand the essence of the original work. you may also wish to have classmates or friends read the essay and furnish their verbal understanding of what you have written.
