How to write a summary of a TV news report or documentary
|
Hi everyone
Have you come across a good website that teaches our students how to summarise a TV news report or documentary?
If so, can you please post the link here. I�m looking for some good links to give to my young adult students.
Cheers
Jayho

Hey Jayho,
I �ve tried to find something useful for your needs but I have failed and it is just because I think there is NO special strategy or approach to making a summary of a speech or a video. It is the same as making a summary of a written text only more difficult because you deal with live speech which you cannot stop (well, you can provided....).
I would train my students to summarise a short video in the following way: 1. watch the video 2. discuss the main points 3. elicit the main idea 4. help with unknown words 5. ask the ss to put the summary on paper or relate it orally
Here is an interesting tool but not exactly what you were looking for http://www.vidinotes.com/

Hi B & B (BaBs & BaiBa)
Thank you so much for your help. It is greatly appreciated. Your links are all very interesting.
Baiba, you�re right - there�s not much out there for summarising when listening, and it�s such a difficult skill for our learners. Mmm - I wonder if there are any Cambridge books on this.
Once again - thank you both.
Cheers
