SUMMARY. Ask yourself these questions for the summary:

 Think about the 6 traits of writing and how you can use these traits in your summary.  What kind of summary can I provide of the main points or main characters that will help my readers gauge their interest?  Does the author’s writing style reach the intended audience?  Will some readers be lost or find the text too easy?  What characters are the most important to the progress of the story?  What are the one or two points to discuss about the book?

EVALUATION. Ask yourself these questions for your evaluation:

 Think about the 6 traits and how you can use these traits in your evaluation.  What should I include so that I can critically evaluate the text, not just inform the readers about it.  What worked well for me in the book? Suspense? Drama? Emotion? Connections? Learning something new?  How does this work compare with others by the same author or other books in the same genre?  What major theme/s does this book introduce and how effective are they?  Did the book appeal to you on an emotional or logical way? Explain why this is something to consider when choosing to read this book.  If the book is missing something what other things might the author have researched or considered to make it better?
