What's the easiest way to write a Precis

1. Read the article carefully and highlight or mark the main ideas.

2. Try to reflect on what author is trying to communicate through the text.

3. Take a close look at evidences that the author has used.

4. You would need to restate thesis given by the author in your own words. Do note that it should be precise and on-point.

5. You need to write only one or two sentences for each of the section. It would be a summary of each section but not in too many words.

6. Now you need to re-read article and check whether it is in sync with your summary.

7. You must review write-up and confirm whether you have covered the main points or not. Always use a logical structure.

8. Check the text for correctness and clarity. Do a grammar check before submitting it to the professor.
