Summary Writing

This past week I have learned many important things that will be useful for summary writing. The first thing that I learned was how to properly introduce a film or documentary into a summary. Before I did not realize that there was a certain method to it. I also did not know that that the director needs to be added when introducing the film or documentary into the summary. The second thing that I learned was that when writing a summary one cannot use opinion words such as fantastic, wonderful, or brilliant. I was completely unaware of this before this week and I know that I have put my opinion into the first draft of my paper. The third thing that I learned when writing a summary is that I cannot use the phrase “we get introduced” instead use the phrase “the film introduces.” During this week I have learned many important facts about summary writing that will be useful to this class and my career in law enforcement.
