Question

to create a summary after reading a story, what step should someone do during the reading? (1 point)
remember everything that happens in the story.
write down what happens in the story word for word.
write down whatever the main character says.
take notes that identify characters and events.

Explanation:

A story summary requires capturing key elements without unnecessary detail. Remembering everything is unrealistic; word-for-word writing is copying, not note-taking for summarization; only tracking the main character's dialogue misses critical plot points. Identifying core characters and events via notes provides the essential framework for a concise summary.

Answer:

Take notes that identify characters and events.
