Writing to Summarize Read the Material
Re-Read the Material
Write Short Summaries of Each Stage of Thought
This is the Process
WfS is a process—approach it on a step-by-step basis
Combine the Summaries Maintain tone of original Aim for about 20% length Check style, usage, etc.
Presentation by Mr. Bartlett Questions or comments to whb0006@tigermail.auburn.edu
You can do each step; thus,
you can do the whole thing
There are other ways to WfS
Modify for your own use after you try it this way first
Mark Up the Material:
ID Stages of Thought
Trace the Argument
Look for Key Terms
Find the Main Point

For nearly 1,400 years, Islam, though diverse
in sectarian practice and ethnic tradition, has
provided a unifying faith for peoples
stretching from the Atlantic to the Indian
Ocean and beyond. Starting in the 1500s,
Western ascendency, which culminated in
colonization, eroded once glorious Muslim
empires and reduced the influence of Islam.
After the breakup of the Ottoman Empire
following World War I and the decline of
European colonial empires following World
War II, Muslim nations adopted Western
ideologies—communism, secularism,
nationalism, and capitalism. Yet most
Muslims remained poor and powerless. Their
governments, secular regimes often backed by
the West, were corrupt and repressive (Belt,
78).

Despite Western-style governments, Muslim countries are mired in deep poverty and radical governments. This despite the fact that the religion has existed for several centuries. European colonization ruined the Islamic religion for a long time. You would find it hard to imagine how many Muslims there really are out there.

As governor, Calvin Coolidge became
nationally famous during the Boston police
strike of 1919. In defiance of police depart-
ment rules, a group of Boston policemen had
obtained a union charter from the American
Federation of Labor. Police Commissioner
Edwin U. Curtis suspended 10 of the union’s
leaders, and the next day almost three-fourths
of Boston’s more than 1,500 police officers
went on strike. Bands of hoodlums roamed
Boston for two nights, smashing windows and
looting stores. Coolidge mobilized the state
guard and order was restored. When Curtis
fired the 19 suspended policemen, the
president of the labor union protested to
Coolidge. In reply, Coolidge made his
famous declaration: “There is no right to
strike against the public safety by anybody,
anywhere, any time” (Mayer, 814).

Mayer, George H. “Calvin Coolidge.” The World Book
Encyclopedia. 1979 Edition. 1979.
As governor, Calvin Coolidge became
nationally famous during the Boston police
strike of 1919. In defiance of police depart-
ment rules, a group of Boston policemen had
obtained a union charter from the American
Federation of Labor. Police Commissioner
Edwin U. Curtis suspended 10 of the union’s
leaders, and the next day almost three-fourths
of Boston’s more than 1,500 police officers
went on strike. Bands of hoodlums roamed
Boston for two nights, smashing windows and
looting stores. Coolidge mobilized the state
guard and order was restored. When Curtis
fired the 19 suspended policemen, the
president of the labor union protested to
Coolidge. In reply, Coolidge made his
famous declaration: “There is no right to
strike against the public safety by anybody,
anywhere, any time” (Mayer, 814).
