In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Brushing up on your academic skills over summer is a good way to feel ready for eighth grade. For maths, practice solving multi-step word problems, using decimals, fractions, and percentages, and reviewing proportional relationships. For English literacy, practice looking up new words that you come across in a dictionary, and then using them in a sentence. Some teachers give out sample assignments over summer for you to practice on. Spend time with your friends who will be going to your school too, by not only having fun, but also talking about your classes and what extracurricular activities you want to join. Eighth grade tends to have many unrealistic social cliques and expectations, so having a good set of friends from the start will help. Some schools have gatherings during the summer to help you meet other kids in your year, so attend these if you can. If you don't know anyone who will be in your grade at your school, talk to your neighbours and other kids on your block. Head to your local library and take out some fiction books that look good, or some non-fiction books if there is a topic you would like to learn more about. Reading as much as possible before school starts will help you to get used to the reading workload of eighth grade. E-readers like Kindles are another good way to get some reading done. There are heaps of book apps available online for e-readers. As eighth grade progresses, you will have less time to read for pleasure. This is another reason why reading as much over summer as possible is important! Reading is a good activity for any time of the day over summer. Try reading outside, at the park, or a chapter before bed every night. Every school has slightly different rules, and some schools even change their rules from year-to-year. Keep yourself updated with the latest rules about things like using your mobile phone, or being late, so that you don't accidentally break any of them. Many schools will post their rules online so that you can check them before your first day. If there is a rule that you don't understand, talk about it with your family or with your teacher when you start. They will explain it to you in a way that makes sense.
Summary: Review what you learned during seventh grade. Spend time with your friends over summer to form a support system. Read as many books as you can. Check the school rules before you start.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You want your summary to be short and concise while still conveying the ideas in the article. Compare your summary to the length of the original article. If it's longer than 1/3 of the article's length, revise the summary to cut it down. Similarly, add more detail if your summary is too short. Your summary doesn't need to be exact in length. As long as it's about 1/3 of the article's length, it should be sufficient. Author tags remind the reader that the ideas you're presenting belong to the original author. This helps you avoid accidentally plagiarizing the author's ideas. Each time you state an idea or supporting detail from the article, use an author tag to show that the idea belongs to the original author. You'd write, "Lopez believes," "Lopez finds that," and "Lopez argues." It's also okay to use pronouns. You might write, "She goes on to say," "She further asserts," or "She refutes this idea." The purpose of a summary is to present the article ideas in your own words. If you use direct quotes, you aren't summarizing. Rewrite all of the ideas in your own words.
Summary:
Make sure your summary is about 1/3 of the length of the article. Use author tags to attribute the ideas to the original author. Avoid using direct quotations because they aren't in your words.
