Friend, Rosalie
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v44 n4 p320-29 Dec-Jan 2000-2001
Describes a way to teach summarization that can be applied to all content areas, and explains the factors that make it effective. Includes written guidelines to follow as the class learns how to write summaries. Notes that a formal test of these classroom procedures showed that repeated references and generalization were both effective in assisting students to summarize. (RS)
