PRECIS WRITING
PROCESS
What is precis?
- Is a condensed restatement of an article.
- In contrast to a summary, a precis should
preserve the article’s logic and emphases,
and include main examples where relevant.
- A precis of a primary-literature scientific
paper should follow the standard format:
BHMRC.
What is precis?
- Should be written from the original author’s
point of view, without editorializing.
- Demonstrates that you have assimilated the
key information provided in an article.
- Can be used as “briefs”, but are also very
similar to the first section of manuscript
reviews for peer reviewed journals.
Writing a precis (or any summary)
of an article is an excellent way of
learning for the long term , and
gives you a record to “jog your
memory”
TIPS IN WRITING A PRECIS
1. Read the article carefully all the way through.
2. Consider the main points.
3. Go over the article again, jotting down the
main points ( NOT Whole sentences)
4. Seam together the points, in order, In a logical
narrative
5. Edit to place proper stress on main points, cut
out extra details
SAMPLE PRECIS
By an overwhelming margin, the
International Olympic Committee (IOC)
selected Salt Lake City, Utah, as the site for the
2002 Winter Olympics. But based on leaks from
a disgruntled employee of the local organizing
committee and questions from a member of the
IOC, the Salt Lake City bidders are suspected
of bribing IOC members. So far, four groups
have opened investigations. The IOC members
serve without pay and are pledged to refuse
gifts in excess of $ 150; but they are heavily
courted and allowed to accept plane tickets,
hotel accommodations, and lavish dinners. It
now looks like they also took nearly $400,000
in scholarship money and financial aid to 13
students, six of whom were related to IOC
members. So far no one is accepting blame;
they are only citing past, similar behaviors.
While the games will probably still be held in
Salt Lake City, local organizers are concerned
about the pull-out of sponsors and the
possibility that the IRS might begin an
investigation. The IOC is investigating and
some members may be forced to resign .
Reform is needed
SUMMARY WRITING
PROCESS
Definition:
- A summary is a restatement of someone else's words
in your own words.
-There are many different kinds of summaries, and
they vary according to the degree to which you
interpret or analyze the source.
Feature:
- Some are pages long, while others are just one or
two sentences. However, for all types of summary,
the writer is responsible for generally stating, in his or
her own words, the main information or argument
of another writer.
Purposes of the Summary:
- Before you write the summary, consider why your
(professor, boss, client) wants to read it. Why shouldn't the
reader just read the original? Summaries benefit the reader
because they offer a concise, general version of the original
information. For a busy reader, summaries provide quick
overviews of material.
Purposes of the Summary:
- Summaries also show readers that you have understood
the general point of a text, and in this way, teachers can test
your knowledge. The process of summarizing someone else's
material enables you to better understand that material.
summaries allow you to introduce knowledge within a
context: you can summarize someone's argument in order to
analyze or critique it.
WHAT AND WHEN TO SUMMARIZE
- Many student writers tend to quote when they
should summarize material. Quote only when the
author expresses a point in a particularly telling or
interesting language. Otherwise, simply summarize.
WHAT AND WHEN TO SUMMARIZE
- Use a summary to restate an entire argument. Use a
summary to present information. Summary is more
economical than quotation because a summary allows the
writer more control over the argument.
TIPS IN SUMMARIZING
*Read the original passage or text very carefully.
*Use a pencil to highlight or underline what you take to be the
main point of the original text, or make notes in the margins or
on another sheet of paper.
*If you're summarizing an entire essay, outline the writer's
argument.
*Now tell your audience what the original source argued.
Summary Conventions
1. Summaries can range in length from two sentences to several
pages. In any case, use complete sentences to describe an
author's general points to your reader. Don't quote extensively.
If you quote, use quotation marks and document the quotation.
If you fail to document the quotation, even one word that the
author used, you are plagiarizing material (presenting another
person's information as if it were your own).
Summary Conventions
2. Use the author's last name as a tag to introduce
information: "smith argues that population growth and
environmental degradation are causally related." "Brown
notes that education in the U.S. Has undergone major
revolutions in the past 20 years.“
Summary Conventions
3. Use the present tense (often called the historical
present tense) to summarize the author's argument. "Green
contends that the Republican and Democratic parties are
funded by the same major corporations."
STAGES IN SUMMARIZING A TEXT
1. Read and understand the text carefully.
2. Think about the purpose of the text.
3. Select the relevant information.
4. Find the main ideas-What is important.
5. Change the structure of the text.
6. Rewrite the main ideas in complete sentences.
7. Check your work
Sample Summary:
Today, pornography attempts to make its audience focus their
fantasies on specific people. The "playmate of the month" is a
particular woman about whom the reader is meant to have
particular fantasies. In my view, this has a more baneful effect on
people--makes them demented, in fact, in a way that earlier
pornography didn't. Today's pornography promises them that there
exists, somewhere on this earth, a life of endlessly desirable and
available women and endlessly potent men.
Sample Summary:
The promise that this life is just around the corner--in hugh
Hefner's mansion, or even just in the next joint or the next snort--is
maddening and disorienting. And in its futility, it makes for rage and
self-hatred. The traditional argument against censorship--that "no one
can be seduced by a book"--was probably valid when pornography
was impersonal and anonymous, purely an aid to fantasizing about
sexual utopia. Today, however, there is addiction and seduction in
pornography.

CONCEPT PAPER
WRITING PROCESS
Concept Paper
- Funders often ask for brief 1- to 5-page concept
papers (also called “white papers” in the government
contracting sector) prior to submission of a full proposal.
This helps them save time
by eliminating ideas that are not likely to be funded.

concept paper prior to a full proposal. Concept papers help the
foundation assess whether or not the proposed project is aligned
with its funding priorities and enables us to offer suggestions
before the submission of a full proposal.

APPLICANTS MAY USE CONCEPT PAPERS IN ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
1. To interest potential funders;
2. To develop potential solutions or investigations into
project ideas;
3. To determine whether a project idea is fundable; and
4. To serve as the foundation of a full proposal
APPLICANTS MAY USE CONCEPT PAPERS IN ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
1. Funders that request concept papers often provide a
template or format. If templates or formats are not pr
provided, he following can serve as a useful concept
paper structure.

INTRODUCTION
- Identifies how and where the applicant’s mission and
the funder’s mission intersect or align.
- It addresses the reasons why the funder should
support projects in the given general area.
- It also introduces the applicant’s partners and shows
why the partners want to participate in the project.
PURPOSE/ NEED/RATIONALE
- Outlines what others have written about the general
topic and focuses on the gap in knowledge to be
filled, the problem to be solved, or the need to be
addressed by the applicant’s proposed project.
Similar to a literature review,
- This section allows the applicant to state the purpose
or need in such a way that the applicant’s project is
the best possible solution to the problem.
PURPOSE/ NEED/RATIONALE
- Also, it often provides statements addressing the
significance of the project (showing why the
project should be supported).
- In some cases, these first two sections are merged
into a Background section that both introduces the
alignment between the two organizations’ missions
and provides the need statement.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
- Presents the solution to the problem, the answer
to the need, or the investigation that will fill the
knowledge gap. In this section, the applicant
addresses the unique, unusual, distinctive, innovative,
and/or novel aspects of
the approach, showing why the applicant’s team has
the best solution and presenting a compelling case
for funding.
- This includes the project’s Goals and Objectives
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
- The project description also includes an overview of the
project’s Methodology (sometimes called Project Activities
or Action Plan or Approach
- The project description typically concludes with a
statement of Benefits (or Anticipated Outcomes)
along with a description of who will benefit and how.
SUPPORT OR BUDGET
- Contains either (1) an outline of the main budget
categories for the requested project support or (2) a
single bottom-line amount of the
request and a brief discussion of how that amount will
be used. So
- Some concept papers may not even include an
amount requested.
CONTACT INFORMATION
- Provides the Contact Information of the applicant
organization’s chief executive or his/her designee
authorized to make funding requests.
- The above is a suggested general outline for a
concept paper. Ultimately, if a given funder provides
a specific template or format, the applicant must use
the prescribed structure.
Thank you so much!

Precis writing

  • 2. 1. Structure of academic texts 2. Language used 3. Specific ideas 4. Text structure gleaned from the information 5. Techniques in summarizing 6. Thesis statement 7. Paraphrasing 8. Outlining 9. Summarizing 10. Writing precis/abstract/summary of a text
  • 3. LEARNING COMPETENCIES (WEEKS 4-6) Writing the Reaction Paper, Review, and Critique
  • 4. 1. Forming facts from Opinions 2. Citing specific sources to support claims 3. How to present ideas convincingly 4. Use of appropriate language 5. How to raise legitimate, contrary views appropriately 6. Writing approaches ( Formalism, Feminism) 7. Principles in writing reviews 8. Write a well-balanced precis, abstract, concept paper
  • 6. What is precis? - Is a condensed restatement of an article. - In contrast to a summary, a precis should preserve the article’s logic and emphases, and include main examples where relevant. - A precis of a primary-literature scientific paper should follow the standard format: BHMRC.
  • 7. What is precis? - Should be written from the original author’s point of view, without editorializing. - Demonstrates that you have assimilated the key information provided in an article. - Can be used as “briefs”, but are also very similar to the first section of manuscript reviews for peer reviewed journals.
  • 8. Writing a precis (or any summary) of an article is an excellent way of learning for the long term , and gives you a record to “jog your memory”
  • 9. TIPS IN WRITING A PRECIS 1. Read the article carefully all the way through. 2. Consider the main points. 3. Go over the article again, jotting down the main points ( NOT Whole sentences) 4. Seam together the points, in order, In a logical narrative 5. Edit to place proper stress on main points, cut out extra details
  • 10. SAMPLE PRECIS By an overwhelming margin, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) selected Salt Lake City, Utah, as the site for the 2002 Winter Olympics. But based on leaks from a disgruntled employee of the local organizing committee and questions from a member of the IOC, the Salt Lake City bidders are suspected of bribing IOC members. So far, four groups have opened investigations. The IOC members serve without pay and are pledged to refuse
  • 11. gifts in excess of $ 150; but they are heavily courted and allowed to accept plane tickets, hotel accommodations, and lavish dinners. It now looks like they also took nearly $400,000 in scholarship money and financial aid to 13 students, six of whom were related to IOC members. So far no one is accepting blame; they are only citing past, similar behaviors.
  • 12. While the games will probably still be held in Salt Lake City, local organizers are concerned about the pull-out of sponsors and the possibility that the IRS might begin an investigation. The IOC is investigating and some members may be forced to resign . Reform is needed
  • 14. Definition: - A summary is a restatement of someone else's words in your own words. -There are many different kinds of summaries, and they vary according to the degree to which you interpret or analyze the source.
  • 15. Feature: - Some are pages long, while others are just one or two sentences. However, for all types of summary, the writer is responsible for generally stating, in his or her own words, the main information or argument of another writer.
  • 16. Purposes of the Summary: - Before you write the summary, consider why your (professor, boss, client) wants to read it. Why shouldn't the reader just read the original? Summaries benefit the reader because they offer a concise, general version of the original information. For a busy reader, summaries provide quick overviews of material.
  • 17. Purposes of the Summary: - Summaries also show readers that you have understood the general point of a text, and in this way, teachers can test your knowledge. The process of summarizing someone else's material enables you to better understand that material. summaries allow you to introduce knowledge within a context: you can summarize someone's argument in order to analyze or critique it.
  • 18. WHAT AND WHEN TO SUMMARIZE - Many student writers tend to quote when they should summarize material. Quote only when the author expresses a point in a particularly telling or interesting language. Otherwise, simply summarize.
  • 19. WHAT AND WHEN TO SUMMARIZE - Use a summary to restate an entire argument. Use a summary to present information. Summary is more economical than quotation because a summary allows the writer more control over the argument.
  • 20. TIPS IN SUMMARIZING *Read the original passage or text very carefully. *Use a pencil to highlight or underline what you take to be the main point of the original text, or make notes in the margins or on another sheet of paper. *If you're summarizing an entire essay, outline the writer's argument. *Now tell your audience what the original source argued.
  • 21. Summary Conventions 1. Summaries can range in length from two sentences to several pages. In any case, use complete sentences to describe an author's general points to your reader. Don't quote extensively. If you quote, use quotation marks and document the quotation. If you fail to document the quotation, even one word that the author used, you are plagiarizing material (presenting another person's information as if it were your own).
  • 22. Summary Conventions 2. Use the author's last name as a tag to introduce information: "smith argues that population growth and environmental degradation are causally related." "Brown notes that education in the U.S. Has undergone major revolutions in the past 20 years.“
  • 23. Summary Conventions 3. Use the present tense (often called the historical present tense) to summarize the author's argument. "Green contends that the Republican and Democratic parties are funded by the same major corporations."
  • 24. STAGES IN SUMMARIZING A TEXT 1. Read and understand the text carefully. 2. Think about the purpose of the text. 3. Select the relevant information. 4. Find the main ideas-What is important. 5. Change the structure of the text. 6. Rewrite the main ideas in complete sentences. 7. Check your work
  • 25. Sample Summary: Today, pornography attempts to make its audience focus their fantasies on specific people. The "playmate of the month" is a particular woman about whom the reader is meant to have particular fantasies. In my view, this has a more baneful effect on people--makes them demented, in fact, in a way that earlier pornography didn't. Today's pornography promises them that there exists, somewhere on this earth, a life of endlessly desirable and available women and endlessly potent men.
  • 26. Sample Summary: The promise that this life is just around the corner--in hugh Hefner's mansion, or even just in the next joint or the next snort--is maddening and disorienting. And in its futility, it makes for rage and self-hatred. The traditional argument against censorship--that "no one can be seduced by a book"--was probably valid when pornography was impersonal and anonymous, purely an aid to fantasizing about sexual utopia. Today, however, there is addiction and seduction in pornography. - Midge Decter
  • 28. Concept Paper - Funders often ask for brief 1- to 5-page concept papers (also called “white papers” in the government contracting sector) prior to submission of a full proposal. This helps them save time by eliminating ideas that are not likely to be funded.
