Hi Dilan,

 

If your teacher didn't give you specific instructions, you could ask the teacher.  Most teachers are glad to help.

 

Here are a few tips I can offer:

  - At the beginning of your summary include the poet's name and the title of the poem.

  - Briefly describe what the poem is about, and what you think the poet is trying to communicate.  (Remember that poems use figurative language.)

  - Use proper English rules.  Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period (or question mark, etc.).  The word "I" is always capitalized.  Apostrophes are used for conjunctions (such as don't, can't, you've, etc.)

 

I hope that helps.
