Summary in ENGLISH

Summarising

All Mairehau High School Year 9 English classes this year are part of the ALL Programme ( Accelerated Learning and Literacy.) We are practising the skill of being able to summarise what we read.

Firstly we highlight difficult words in YELLOW

Second we highlight keywords in PINK 

Lastly, we use firstly, next and lastly to summarise the paragraph. 

In English we have been summarising about animals and their ways to protect themselves from predators. We chose three animals to summarise about and here is one of mine. When high lighting the keywords we were only allowed to highlight 6-7 words so it would be easier to summarise it better. 

Firstly, Skunks are most known for their way of defending themselves from predators and other things that alarm them. If Skunks feel threatened they will spray a nasty smelling liquid beneath their tail. A skunk will carry out a threat by raising its tail when threatened or challenged. Skunks spend their days sleeping and are most active during the evening and night time. Skunks are in North and South of America and people tend to avoid them because of the smell they spray.  

Summary- Firstly, The skunk defends itself by spraying a nasty smelling liquid beneath their tail. Skunks are found in North and South of America.
