- Take notes while reading, especially when reading nonfiction. The topic sentences of nonfiction articles can be collected and will form the skeleton of the précis.
- When reading fiction, look for the plot structure: exposition, inciting moment, crisis, moment of final suspense, and denouement. These events constitute a précis of a story.
- Identify the conflict(s) in the story. Include only those things which develop and/or resolve the conflict.
- Avoid interjecting personal opinions.
