Find out how you renew a driver’s license in Ontario.
Write a summary of the information you found on the website. Imagine that you are being asked to summarize that information for someone who needs just the most important information about either getting a passport, getting a driver’s license, or applying for OSAP. In this summary, it will be important to think about how you organize your ideas. Will you organize the information ? Or will you arrange the information in order of importance? Think about how the method of organization will help the reader figure out what he or she is supposed to do. Here is a list of transition words that you can use to link ideas together in your summaries and other types of writing. Use some of these transition words in your summary in this activity.
Write in complete sentences.
Begin with a topic sentence that identifies the main idea of the webpage, the title of the webpage, and the original author’s name if available.
Include supporting details, but leave out any unnecessary words or examples.
Link your supporting details using transition words.
Use your own words wherever possible. If you use the original author’s exact words, put them in quotation marks.
Include a full citation for the original article (in this case, providing the url for the website will be enough information).
