Bullet Point Current Event Summary
Choose a current event that you're interested in from the Times articles. Read the article and pay close attention to the important details. Create five bullet points that summarize the article.
How to make a great bullet point:
-
Think of a bullet point as a mini headline. It needs to be concise and attention-grabbing.
-
Highlight elements key to understanding the content of your article. There’s no room for fluff here, so call out what’s most important.
-
Keep it simple and avoid adding many long sentences.
-
Make your bullet points symmetrical - just like the ones here.
-
Include keywords from the article.
