Summary Rubric

The document provides a rubric for summarizing texts in 4 categories (1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest). Category 4 summaries include the title, author, genre, main idea, and only the most important events in proper sequence with few errors. Category 3 summaries attempt to include similar information but may have minor inaccuracies or unimportant details. Category 2 summaries show little awareness of key elements and contain details out of order with some important information. Category 1 summaries lack essential information about the text and have significant issues that impede meaning.
