Summarizing informational Research

Which of the following statements is true about SUMMARIZING?

• A summary should include as many factual details as possible.

• A summary is always found in the first sentence of an article

• A summary should always be 3 sentences long.

• A summary is what the research is mostly about.

Which best describes what a summary is?

• The main or most important idea of the text/article

• A really long detailed piece of writing

• A dumb thing teachers make you write

• The entire text/article in your own words

A key detail is...

• A life lesson that the author is trying to communicate to us.
• An important point in the text that can help us find the main idea
• Reveals the main characters in the story.
• Is the main point the author is trying to make about the topic.

The main idea is...

• The order in which events happen.

• A series of important details identified in a nonfiction text.

• The big idea that the author wants us to take away from a fictional story.

• A brief statement that you create which shows/reflects what a nonfiction text is mainly talking about.

A summary is...

• A list of key details in the text that are placed in the correct order.
• A short paragraph in a fictional story that reveals the big idea, lesson, or moral.
• A short paragraph that you create which includes the main idea of the text and some key important details.
• A short paragraph that you find in the text which includes the main idea and some key details.

Summarize the following paragraph: While the benefit of a clinically appropriate X-ray imaging exam generally far outweighs the risk, efforts should be made to minimize this risk by reducing unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation. To help reduce risk to the patient, all exams using ionizing radiation should be performed only when necessary to answer a medical question, treat a disease, or guide a procedure. If there is a medical need for a particular imaging procedure and other exams using no or less radiation are less appropriate, then the benefits exceed the risks, and radiation risk considerations should not influence the physician’s decision to perform the study or the patient's decision to have the procedure. However, the "As Low as Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA) principle should always be followed when choosing equipment settings to minimize radiation exposure to the patient.

• The risk of a x-ray radiation leading to cancer should be a consideration.

• Because x-ray radiation is risky, it should only be used as a last resort

• X-rays are useful medical tools but due to the radiation, should be used on the lowest settings possible to limit exposure.

• There are benefits and drawbacks to using x-rays as a medical tool.

Choose the best "main topic" for the passage below:

Medical imaging has led to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous medical conditions in children and adults.

There are many types - or modalities - of medical imaging procedures, each of which uses different technologies and techniques. Computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, and radiography ("conventional X-ray") all use ionizing radiation to generate images of the body. Ionizing radiation is a form of radiation that has enough energy to potentially cause damage to DNA and may elevate a person’s lifetime risk of developing cancer.

CT, radiography, and fluoroscopy all work on the same basic principle: an X-ray beam is passed through the body where a portion of the X-rays are either absorbed or scattered by the internal structures, and the remaining X-ray pattern is transmitted to a detector (e.g., film or a computer screen) for recording or further processing by a computer.

• Medical imaging has benefited children and adults

• When a medical x-ray beam is aimed at a body part, the different tissues and bones in the body absorb or scatter the x-rays in different way and the remaining x-rays are transmitted onto a film or detector.

• There are three types of medical imaging that uses x-ray radiation: CT, radiography, and flouroscopy.

• X-ray radiation has enough energy to potentially cause damage to DNA, increasing the risk of cancer in patients.
