The Summarising Strategy - Week 4

Key words!

Key words help you make up a great sentence.

You choose a Key word from a book and then make a sentence or  all what you know about the Key word.

You have to write in your own words or you have just plagiarised.

Here is an example

Key words - Birds and Extinct

Sentence -  NZ have lots of amazing BIRDS and now they are all EXTINCT.
