Read the text about summary and review to understand the difference between their types.

Types of Summaries

A summary should be accurate and while 100% objectivity isn’t possible, the summary writer should strive to stay as close as possible to this position. Most importantly, the summary writer should fairly represent the author’s ideas. Writers of summaries should save their own ideas and interpretations for the response (відгук), rather than including these things in the summary.

The purpose for the summary can alter (змінюватися) how it is written. Also, the reader’s needs and interests must be considered when writing a summary. A key skill to develop for use in written summary is the ability to paraphrase (to express the author’s ideas using the summarizer’s own words).

There are three types of summary:

· Main Point Summary

· Key Points Summary

· Outline Summary

Outline Summary

This type of summary mimics the structure of the text being summarized. It includes the main points and argument in the same order they appear in the original text. This is an especially effective technique to use when the accompanying response will be analytic, such as an evaluation (оцінювання) of the logic or evidence used in a text.

Main Point Summary

A main point summary reads much like an article abstract, giving the most important “facts” of the text. It should identify the title, author, and main point or argument. When relevant, it can also include the text’s source (book, essay, periodical, journal, etc.). As in all types of summary, a main point summary uses author tags (фраза, клише), such as “In the article, the author states…,” or “The author argues/explains/says/asks/suggests…” These tags will make it clear which ideas are those of the author and the text being summarized, not the summarizer. This type of summary might also use a quote (цитування) from the text, but the quote should be representative of the text’s main idea or point. A main point summary is often used when writing academic papers as a way to introduce the reader to a source and to place the main point of that source into the context of an argument or discussion of an issue.

Key Points Summary

This type of summary will have all the same features as a main point summary, but also include the reasons and evidence (key points) the author uses to support the text’s main idea. This type of summary would also use direct quotes of key words, phrases, or sentences from the text. This summary is used when it is necessary for the summary writer to fully explain an author’s idea to the reader. The key point summary involves a full accounting and complete representation of the author’s entire set of ideas. One reason to use this sort of summary would be if the writer intended to respond to the author’s argument using an agree/disagree response model. In such a case, there may be some of the author’s ideas the writer agrees with, but others with which the writer disagrees.

Review

The very word “review,” both as noun and verb, tells us what we should be doing. As the Latin root indicates, to review means to see again.

The first step in a review is to describe the work and its topic.

The second task is to describe the work itself.

Review articles, including meta-analyses, are critical evaluations of material that has already been published. By organizing, integrating and evaluating previously published material, the author of a review article considers the progress of current research toward clarifying a problem. In a sense, a review article is tutorial in that the author

· defines and clarifies the problem;

· summarizes previous investigations in order to inform the reader of the state of current research;

· identifies relations, contradictions (суперечності), gaps (розбіжності), and inconsistencies (непослідовність) in the literature;

· suggests the next step or steps in solving the problem.

4. Have you ever read any annotation? What is its purpose? What does it look like in structure?

An annotation is a brief summary of a book, article, or other publication. The purpose of an annotation is to describe the work in such a way that the reader can decide whether or not to read the work itself. There are, to be sure, other elements in various types of annotations, but if the six points noted below are covered, the annotator can at least be certain the basics have been covered. By definition annotations are short notes, normally no more than 150 words.

Here are some guidelines for writing annotation:

Step 1: Say something about the author, i.e. what their qualifications are for writing on the subject.

Step 2: Explain the scope and main purpose of the text. This is usually done in one to three short sentences. (This is not a summary of the plot and not an abstract; you cannot hope to summarize the total content of the work).

Step 3: Note the relationship to other works in the field, if any. Or you may want to compare one work in your bibliography with the others that you include and how they are different from each other.

Step 4: Include the major bias or standpoint of the author in relation to the work.

Step 5: Indicate the audience and the level of reading difficulty if it is important. This is not always present in an annotation but is important if the work is targeted to a specific audience.

Step 6: At this point the annotation can end with a summary comment.

You are suggested a plan of annotation:

1. What is the text concerned with?

2. What does the author dwell on?

3. What does the author describe further on?

4. What kind of summary does the author give after that?

5. What does the author point out?

6. What does the author conclude the text with?

You are suggested a scheme of annotation:

The text (the page) I have read deals with (concerns) Criminal law (the branch of the science it is devoted to).

This text (this page) is an abstract from the scientific article (the monograph) under the title of “…”

The book (the monograph) was published in 2001 in Kyiv.

In the first paragraph of the page (of the text) it goes about (мова йдеться про)...

In the second paragraph the author characterises (analyses, explains) the legal issues of ...

In the third paragraph he singles out (виділяє) the main peculiarities (characteristics, features) of ...

In the fourth paragraph it is stressed (underlined) that ...

In the fifth paragraph he cites a primary source (article/section of)...

In the next paragraph the author comes to the conclusion (reaches the conclusion) that ...

Summing all it up he points out that ...

In my opinion / to my mind this text (book, monograph etc.) is of great (certain) value; up-to-date/outdated a bit; of great importance to/for scientists in the field of Criminal law (to/for criminal jurists).
