Oral summaries
An oral summary can also be called a verbal summary. It is important to point out to students that they give oral summaries every day, by stating main points of some type of media.
Oral summaries are similar to written summaries in the sense that they should comprehension to the teacher because the summary is in the students own words and reinforces the main points of the text (Teacher Vision, n.d.). Procedure
Tied to Writing
Though an oral summary is to verbally state main ideas from a text, writing can also be apart of the strategy through the use of a graphic organizer when analyzing the text, also note cards or a outline can be used to help with keeping on topic and not forgetting any details while staying in sequence.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.6.2.b

(Knatim, 2009)
The educator does a great job of keeping the students engaged while she does a read aloud, demonstrating for the students what are in the important key words and what can be left out of the summary. She also asks her students questions to keep them engaged and checks for understanding.
Tips on Summarizing
(Ohio State University, 2014)
This video really does a great job of explaining the different parts and steps to summarizing a text. The presenter explains all the necessary portions, but also uses a visual to help describe the process and the sequence of the summary. At the end of the presentation, the presenter allows an article for the viewer to practice the skills and tips taught. This is a great resource for teachers and students.
Variations in Math
Students could give an oral summary of an important concept, such as a theorem in geometry, or how to do a certain operations. They could also give a summary of a famous mathematician.
