Summarization Tips:
Clarity: Ensure your summary is clear and easy to understand.
Brevity: Keep it concise, focusing on the most important points.
Paragraph Structure: Maintain a well-structured paragraph format.
Topic Sentence: Start with a topic sentence that includes the title, author, and speaker (if applicable).
Supporting Sentences: Follow the same order as the original text when paraphrasing.
Objective: Avoid adding personal opinions; maintain objectivity.

[@salvadornovillosaravia2025]

writting summaries you must not include:specific details,dates or figures unless essential
a summarie must be concise, not wordy(not descriptive)
a summerie should mantain a good paragraph structeure (topic sentence,supporting sentence,cocluding sentences)
In a topic sentence you should identify:the author,title,speaker, of the original material in you topic sentences.
topic sentences are the main point
supporting sentences Always try to follow the order of information is presented in the orginal material
always paraphrase no do direct information
be objective do not give you opinion
