EAP Summarising Sources Worksheet - Reading and Exercises: Identifying, Categorising, Summarising, Peer Feedback - Pair Work This useful summarising sources worksheet helps students separate main ideas from supporting details through a four-step process, then apply those main ideas to produce a short, accurate summary. First, students review the four steps and the difference between main ideas and supporting details. Students then read a text about museum fatigue and decide which parts of the text express main ideas and which provide supporting details, completing the table with their answers. After that, students write a three- to five-sentence summary using the main ideas they identified. Finally, students swap worksheets with a partner, read their summary, complete a checklist, and provide feedback to their partner.
