Creating a Summary Statement (Week 3)

Do	Don't
Create a short summary of the concern/gist of the passage Integrate the whole passage Look beyond the specific situation Summarize in a way that works anytime, anywhere Avoid being unnecessarily specific Position for moving to personal application(s)	Merely repeat the passage in your own words Include every detail from the passage Limit it to the original situation Summarize in a way that is specific to people in specific times, places Be too narrow in conclusions Include specific applications

The goal is NOT to get the right answer
The goal IS for each person to grow in his/her own ability to get the right answer
Don’t rely on headings (they’re not good enough!)
Challenge each other for improvement
