Summary for 1PR

Dear PR,

Remember to practise what we learnt today for summary:
  1. ONLY include points that answer the Q(s)
  2. Avoid irrelevant sentences - don't waste words
  3. Follow instructions carefully - use only paragraphs/pages stated in the instructions!
  4. Paraphrase whenever possible! (For practice, use a Thesaurus or Microsoft Word's synonyms
  5. Make sure you have at least 10 pts before you start writing
  6. In your table, phrase the points to answer the Qs.

Here are the instructions for today's assignment. Please include the Q, the Table & your summary paragraph (one paragraph!) in your homework. Do your best! :)
