Writing a Summary using an IVF Statement and Informal Outline (IO) 1. An IVF Statement is the topic sentence. It is the first sentence of a summary. I is Identify, V is Verb and F is Finish the thought. Example of an IVF Statement: • • • Identify includes the title, author, and genre of what you are summarizing o (The story, entitled Back to the Zoo by Fred Smith) Verb includes strong action verbs o (describes) Finish the thought includes the main idea of the entire passage o (how Bobby became a zookeeper). The story, entitled “Back to the Zoo” by Fred Smith, describes how Bobby became a zookeeper. 2. Informal Outline (IO) An Informal Outline (IO) is a simple outline that does not include Roman Numerals. An IO helps you prepare for writing. It is the body of your summary. Create a T-chart (two column chart). See sample below. T = IVF Statement Here Main Idea #1 - Supporting Details Supporting Details - Supporting Details - Supporting Details Main Idea #2 Main Idea #3 C = Rewrite IVF Statement 3. The IVF Statement and the IO are combined to make a summary.
