Note to teachers
Long before students sit down to write their summaries, they have to
categorize the information theyve read. The process can be daunting for
novice summary writersregardless of their ages. One tried-and-true
method to help students isolate important information is the strategy
journalists have traditionally used to organize their writing. Called the
Journalists Questions or the 5 Ws and an H, these simple questions help
writers identify important information about a topic. Only after the
questions have been answered, can writers organize their news stories
or in the case of your studentstheir summaries.
