Summaries

Rememeber that a summary gives us a brief look at the section of the book you read.  Don't forget to  have:
Topic
What was said about the topic (3 sentences is average)
Author's purpose
Main Idea

Edit for spelling and punctuation.  Check for the word then and get rid of it! Have you added some interesting verbs?
