I teach my students to use Nancy Boyle’s Answer Frame when writing a summary. For example:

This novel is about a main character named _______________________and it takes place in ___________________________. The problem in this tale is ________________________________________. One important event that happens as the characters try to solve this problem is ______________________________________. A second important event is ____________________________________. A third important event is ___________________________________. Finally the problem in this fairy tale is solved when ___________________________. At the end of the novel_____________________________________________.

It helps them with organization and allows them to elaborate on three specific events in the novel while still introducing the main character, setting, problem, and how it is resolved.

Good Luck! 🙂

Keep it short and simple.

“Hamlet” is a play by William Shakespeare that depicts the intrigues surrounding the Danish Crown Prince at his court.

“Perfume” is a novel by Patrik Süskind that tells the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, whose exceptional sense of smell is just as remarkable as his lack of morals.

See what I mean?
