How to Write a Key Detail Summary
A Key Detail summary shows that you have read and understood information and can distinguish
what is useful to support a Claim and Reason (even if you haven't discovered your claim yet). It is
common in many 100 and 200 level classes to get assignments that ask you to read a certain
number of articles and summarize them. This is also a very common type of writing assignment in
graduate school.
How to produce a summary:
1. Choose the key details based on the Guiding Questions:
2. Copy/paste original material
3. Delete trivial material unnecessary to understanding
4. Delete repetition
5. Condense using your own words
6. Revise for coherence; add attributions

1. Represents the original accurately and fairly. Written with precise, accurate language in a
neutral, objective tone.
2. Never put any of your own ideas, opinions, or interpretations into the summary. This means
you have to be very careful of your word choice.
3. Periodically remind your reader that this is a summary by using phrases such as the article
claims, the author suggests, etc. These are Attributions.
4. Write a complete MLA citation at the end of your summary.

The correct answer is letter C. In the passage from “The Rescue Mission”, the author has chosen the present tense to make the narrative appear more vividly by assimilating it to the here-and-now of the speech act. This use of the present tense is also called Conversational and Narrative Historical present. It describes the past as if it is happening now. These sentences are clear examples of this use in the setting: “I’ve got the clips, bungee cord, vests, and basket, and the rest of the equipment is onboard.”; “I have to get my head in the zone because this chopper is heading into stormy conditions, and it will feel as though things are happening at supersonic speed when we get to the site.”
