First we will detail how to write an effective summary and some of the rules that go along with summary writing. Review this Summary Writing Powerpoint. Then we will practice in groups.
You will get in groups of 3 to research and summarize major parts of Hemingway's life. Groups will be divided into 5 different places Hemingway lived and explain the importance of the place to his life and writing. Groups are as follows:
Italy
|
Angel, Isaias,
Daisy
|
Paris
|
Sandy, Kyle,
Carson
|
Spain
|
Mariana,
Aaron, Gray
|
Africa

|
Cuba
|
Kimberly,
Delphinia, Elliott

Use the following websites and/or do your own research to create your summary:

Work with your group to research then summarize your assigned portion which your group will read for the class. Please use this summary template, which contains an example, for help on creating your summary.
Once all groups have presented you will work on your own summary individually. Please choose one of the following articles to read and summarize:
