The great thing about teaching is that there is always room for improvement. Even though students understood the gist of writing an objective summary, intense practice, explicit and direct instruction is required for students to own the skill of building complex sentences with correct syntax. Moats states, "interpretation of sentences is required if students are to comprehend whole text (Scott, 2009)" (p. 105).
