00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,350
Hello, everybody.

2
00:00:01,350 --> 00:00:08,010
In this lecture, I'm going to be doing a full strategy application for the summary question.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,870
This passage is coming from book 14, test number one.

4
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:21,180
If you want to, you can go ahead and open up your own copy of book 14, test number one for the general

5
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:21,990
exam.

6
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:29,790
And you can you can do this summary question before watching this lecture, and then you can check what

7
00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:35,800
you've done against the strategy that was applied inside of this lecture.

8
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:45,240
So the purpose of this is to provide you a real passage example of how strategy is applied.

9
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:52,440
Now, when it comes to the summary question, it's much easier than the academic exam.

10
00:00:52,710 --> 00:01:01,410
The academic exam is much more complicated in that normally for the general exam, within a summary

11
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:04,320
question, you might have three or four questions.

12
00:01:04,650 --> 00:01:11,760
And in a academic exam, you might have 4 to 6 questions for a summary.

13
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:12,810
Also.

14
00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:22,450
The questions have more of a possibility of going out of order in the academic exam while in the general

15
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:29,200
exam unless the summary question is coming in, passage number three is most likely going to go in order.

16
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:31,060
So let's go ahead and get started.

17
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:41,710
So the first thing that we're going to do, we're not going to read the passage, read the topic sentences.

18
00:01:41,710 --> 00:01:43,570
We're not going to waste time doing that.

19
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,960
We're going to go directly to the summary question and apply the strategy.

20
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:55,900
Now, for those of you who are looking at this in the book, you will notice that before the summary

21
00:01:55,900 --> 00:02:01,600
question, there is a multiple choice question, I believe, and you will probably go ahead and do that

22
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,540
multiple choice question, those multiple choice questions first and then move forward with doing the

23
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:08,680
summary question.

24
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:13,090
However, the summary question here is really, really straightforward.

25
00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:21,190
I'm going to always work under the assumption that it will go in order unless I'm proved different,

26
00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:27,220
and unless the less something proves to me that that's not going to work in this situation.

27
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:34,870
But like I said on the general exam, we can pretty much count on that happening now.

28
00:02:34,870 --> 00:02:41,860
The first step, of course, is to understand that a summary question is basically the same as a field

29
00:02:41,890 --> 00:02:42,910
blank question.

30
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:45,610
It operates under the same principles.

31
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:53,140
So the blank line that you're feeling like for number 38, it comes at the end of the sentence.

32
00:02:53,470 --> 00:03:01,000
For number 39, it comes in the middle of the sentence, and then number 40 comes towards the end of

33
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,370
the of the second sentence also.

34
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:11,290
So our our first step is to go ahead and identify our keywords.

35
00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:20,860
Now for number 38, I'm not going to highlight the word papyrus or papyrus papyrus.

36
00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:21,400
All right.

37
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:28,000
So I'm not going to highlight that word because it's going to appear everywhere.

38
00:03:28,330 --> 00:03:28,630
Right.

39
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:31,060
It's not really a key word that we focus on.

40
00:03:31,330 --> 00:03:32,800
We have cellulose.

41
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:36,890
Fungal growth which is very good.

42
00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:42,290
No synonym language there and really, really important word is consumed by.

43
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,910
The words consumed by are very, very important.

44
00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:54,990
The reason why is because the answer is going to connect directly to that language.

45
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,420
Now, on the academic exam, we can count we can pretty much count on that.

46
00:04:00,420 --> 00:04:04,920
In the passage, they're going to use synonyms in the on the general exam.

47
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,260
They may use the exact language, they may not, but we should plan for them to be able to be using

48
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:14,190
synonym language for number 38.

49
00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:22,080
We're looking at 5000 year old in Egypt.

50
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:32,440
And for number 49, this word right here, number four at number 40 is really easy to find because this

51
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,250
word.

52
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:40,770
Herculaneum is very, very easy to find, very easy to find.

53
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:50,970
And for a number 40 is preceded by the blank line is preceded by the words a huge that means the answer

54
00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:57,150
is going to connect directly directly directly to that to that language.

55
00:04:59,370 --> 00:05:06,870
So our job, now that we have our keywords identified, we're going to go ahead and move forward with

56
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:08,520
locating that information.

57
00:05:09,450 --> 00:05:12,750
Before we do that, let me give you some really good strategy advice.

58
00:05:13,530 --> 00:05:21,450
As I mentioned before, before this summary question, I believe there is a multiple choice question

59
00:05:21,450 --> 00:05:24,000
that you have to do now.

60
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,980
It's a really, really good idea that before you start that multiple choice question, go ahead and

61
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:38,700
go through this process that I just did where I highlighted all the keywords for 38, 39 and 40.

62
00:05:39,450 --> 00:05:42,540
Just highlight the keywords and put them in your mind.

63
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:46,530
Then go ahead and start the multiple choice question.

64
00:05:47,130 --> 00:05:51,090
As you're doing the multiple choice question, keep a lookout.

65
00:05:51,120 --> 00:06:01,170
Keep a mental lookout for the words cellulose, fungal growth, 5000 year old Herculaneum, Egypt,

66
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:04,380
keep a lookout for those words.

67
00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:10,260
And as you're doing the multiple choice questions and answering them, if you if you see any of those

68
00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:13,950
words, go ahead and Mark where you see the words that way.

69
00:06:13,950 --> 00:06:20,550
When you get to the multiple choice question, you can easily, easily, easily, easily move through

70
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:20,970
it.

71
00:06:22,350 --> 00:06:31,830
So let's go ahead and get started with we're looking for a cellulose fungal growth, 5000 year old Herculaneum.

72
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:32,220
All right.

73
00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:35,160
So let's go ahead and do a scanning process, everybody.

74
00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:40,980
A scanning process, as I say it, if you're starting with the multiple choice question, you would

75
00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:44,310
have been you would have started that scanning process at that point.

76
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,480
If there is 5000 years right there.

77
00:07:09,050 --> 00:07:11,990
But I'm cautious.

78
00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:24,380
I am really hesitant about that being the keyword language for question number 39, because before that,

79
00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:27,830
I don't see anything about cellulose or fungal growth.

80
00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:34,100
And keep in mind, when I told you that on the general exam, we're going to work with the understanding

81
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:35,580
that it's going to go in order.

82
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:42,350
Also, we always have to be aware that whenever they are, many times when they're going to use really

83
00:07:42,350 --> 00:07:50,330
exact language like here 5000 years ago, 5000 years ago, whenever they're using those that exact those

84
00:07:50,330 --> 00:07:59,210
exact words or exact numbers, we can pretty much assume that it's going to most likely be a trap.

85
00:07:59,690 --> 00:08:01,400
It could easily be a trap.

86
00:08:01,910 --> 00:08:08,750
And what what ends up happening is that students will read more than what's necessary.

87
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,610
But when we look at this sentence, we see 5000 years ago, but there's nothing about Egypt.

88
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,400
So I know that can't be my sentence.

89
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,380
I know it cannot be my sentence.

90
00:08:24,510 --> 00:08:26,520
Here's the word Egyptian.

91
00:08:26,850 --> 00:08:30,210
But there is nothing about the word Egyptian.

92
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:33,570
But there's nothing about 5000 years yet.

93
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:36,160
Now.

94
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:36,610
Here we go.

95
00:08:36,610 --> 00:08:37,140
Right here.

96
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:40,510
Paragraph C, here is cellulose rich.

97
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:56,270
SC Normally in the general exam this information will come in one paragraph in the academic exam.

98
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,350
Most of the time it comes in one paragraph, sometimes two paragraphs.

99
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,940
There's 5000 years old and there's Herculaneum.

100
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:05,780
Right.

101
00:09:05,780 --> 00:09:12,500
So I already know that everything everything's going to be contained within paragraph C.

102
00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:17,300
Everything will be contained within paragraph C, because I see I see the language there.

103
00:09:17,570 --> 00:09:19,820
Now, let's go back to the question for a second.

104
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,630
And it says papyrus, rich cellulose.

105
00:09:28,810 --> 00:09:33,770
And in some conditions we'll be destroyed by fungal growth or.

106
00:09:33,790 --> 00:09:35,260
Or.

107
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:37,910
Fungal growth or.

108
00:09:39,390 --> 00:09:40,740
Consumed by.

109
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:44,030
So let's go back and look.

110
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:56,320
In moist climates, the cellulose rich sheets of papyrus would readily decay, becoming covered by mold.

111
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,610
Mold as a synonym for what?

112
00:09:57,610 --> 00:09:58,240
Everybody.

113
00:09:58,270 --> 00:09:59,380
Fungal growth.

114
00:09:59,890 --> 00:10:03,880
Or full of holes from attacks by insects.

115
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:06,760
Full of holes right here, everybody.

116
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:09,890
Full of holes from attacks.

117
00:10:11,150 --> 00:10:13,820
By that language.

118
00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:17,360
That language everyone is synonym.

119
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,520
That language is synonym for.

120
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:22,700
Consumed by.

121
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:32,400
Right.

122
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,700
When it says that it's full of holes by attacks, that means that it that that means that it is that's

123
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:40,920
that's our synonym relationship.

124
00:10:41,310 --> 00:10:43,230
That's what you have to recognize.

125
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,800
You have to recognize that synonym relationship.

126
00:10:48,930 --> 00:10:55,050
And you have to also recognize that when they say fungal growth, that that's the same as mold.

127
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,020
That's our and there's our our oil right there.

128
00:10:58,740 --> 00:10:59,940
There's our oil right there.

129
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:06,870
So the answer the answer for number 38.

130
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:08,910
We know the answer for number 38.

131
00:11:09,390 --> 00:11:12,390
Our answer is in six.

132
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:13,820
Right.

133
00:11:13,830 --> 00:11:15,180
Number 38 is insects.

134
00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:16,620
Now as to number 39.

135
00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:23,280
However, it can survive for long periods in an environment that is dry.

136
00:11:23,310 --> 00:11:28,800
It has been found that it has been found in a 5000 year old blank in Egypt.

137
00:11:35,150 --> 00:11:36,740
Just read that sentence.

138
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:41,120
The earliest known role of papyrus scroll was found.

139
00:11:41,150 --> 00:11:49,070
Well, there's a language right there found in the tomb of an official called Jamaica near Memphis,

140
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:53,090
which was then the capital of Egypt and is around 5000 years old.

141
00:11:53,240 --> 00:12:03,080
So it was found in it was found found in the is synonym for found in a same words.

142
00:12:03,830 --> 00:12:04,940
Same words.

143
00:12:05,330 --> 00:12:11,540
So everybody our answer our answer is tomb or answers tomb.

144
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:29,300
So for number 39, we would write tomb T, o, m B and now in Herculaneum, many peppers documents were

145
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:31,520
preserved by following a huge.

146
00:12:31,820 --> 00:12:39,620
So when I go to that sentence, when I go to that sentence and I search through that sentence that we're

147
00:12:39,620 --> 00:12:44,570
talking about, I'm looking for something connected to huge.

148
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:46,920
Right.

149
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,420
And here it is right here.

150
00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:57,510
Catastrophic is synonym for the word huge or paraphrasing in a way of paraphrasing.

151
00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:00,450
Something catastrophic is is huge.

152
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,750
Anything that's catastrophic is automatically also thought of as being huge.

153
00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:10,520
All right, generally speaking.

154
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:19,040
And then our answer, of course, would be eruption, huge eruption, catastrophic eruption.

155
00:13:20,060 --> 00:13:22,790
So eruption is our answer choice.

156
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:36,390
All right.

157
00:13:36,390 --> 00:13:37,950
And that will do it.

158
00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:45,900
That's how we apply the summary strategy to an actual passage.

159
00:13:46,170 --> 00:13:49,530
And the answers are insects, tomb and eruption.

160
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,860
Thank you very much for joining me.

161
00:13:51,870 --> 00:13:53,640
I really, really appreciate it.

162
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,030
And I look forward to teaching you again in the next lecture.

163
00:13:57,060 --> 00:13:57,780
Take care.
