  2. How To Summarize • Read the text. • Don’t let big words scare you. • Ask, “What was this text about?” Your Answer… • Should be a complete sentence or two • Should cover main point and key ideas • Should be in your own words • Shouldn’t just be a word or two

  3. 1 When one hears the term “reality” applied to a television show, one might expect that the events occurred naturally or, at the least, were not scripted, but this is not always the case.  Many reality shows occur in unreal environments, like rented mansions occupied by film crews.  These living environments do not reflect what most people understand to be “reality.”  Worse, there have been accusations that events not captured on film were later restaged by producers.  Worse still, some involved in the production of “reality” television claim that the participants were urged to act out story lines premeditated by producers.  With such accusations floating around, it’s no wonder many people take reality TV to be about as real as the sitcom.
