Cite relevant details from text to support what the text says explicitly and make inferences. Describe in depth a character, setting or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text. Summarizing teaches students how to discern the most important ideas in a text, how to ignore irrelevant information, and how to integrate the central ideas in a meaningful way.
Answer:
Fiction can be summarized by creating a synopsis. A synopsis is a brief summary of the plot.
This is a tool that helps readers to understand and identify the most important information within a story. It reduces the amount of unnecessary information and allows the reader to comprehend and retain the story more effectively.
When summarizing fiction in general it is helpful to ask these questions...
Who are main characters?
What do they want/goal?
Why can't they get or achieve it?
How is the problem resolved?
