Together, they set off on a dangerous journey in search of the Blue Bird.
Tyltyl and Mytyl go to many magical places. They encounter numerous characters such as their departed grandparents, trees that hate mankind, the greedy and ugly Luxuries, and children waiting to be born. Although they try very hard to find the Blue Bird, the birds they find either change colour or die. The children return home at last, and Tyltyl discovers the Blue Bird has been there all the time!

Learning to learn.
When writing a summary of a long story, your purpose is to convey the basic ideas of the original: what is it about and what does the author want to communicate First, identify the title and author of the piece. Then use your own words to describe relevant details that lead to the climax of the story. State the central idea of the story but don’t give your own opinion of it. A good summary needs to be concise, precise and to the point.
What does a summary usually include
Main Body
a summary
Beginning
Conclusion
identify the title and author of the piece
describe relevant details that lead to the climax of the story
state the central idea of the story
2. Choose another play you have read and write a summary of it. Organise your ideas by completing the table.
Title and author of the play
Main character(s)
Start of the play
Climax
Conclusion
While-writing
Do you know the famous play The Merchant of Venice
D: Have mercy on Antonio, Shylock. Do not be so bitter.
S: I’ve promised to take my pound of flesh. If you do not let me have it, that will be a sign of weakness and no one will trust your laws any more. The greatness of Venice will soon be lost. Antonio is my enemy, and I hate him.
B: Do all men kill the things they do not love
Choose another play you have read and write a summary of it. Organise your ideas by completing the table.
Title and author of the play
Main character(s)
The Merchant of Venice
Shakespeare
Bassanio; Antonio;
Shylock; Portia
Start of the play
Bassanio, a noble but penniless Venetian, asks his friend Antonio for a loan so that Bassanio can undertake a journey to woo Portia. Antonio borrows money from Shylock in order to be able to assist Bassanio. However, if the loan cannot be repaid in time, Antonio will give Shylock a pound of flesh.
Climax
News arrives that Antonio’s ships have been lost at sea. Unable to get his money back, Shylock attempts to use justice to enforce a terrible revenge on Antonio: he demands his pound of flesh.
Conclusion
Shylock’s revengeful plan is foiled by Portia, who turns the tables on Shylock by an argument: he must take flesh only, and Shylock must die if any blood is spilled. Thus, the contract is cancelled. The play ends with the news that, in fact, some of Antonio’s ships have arrived safely.
Write your summary. Consider the following:
Think about how well you used concise and precise language to summarise the play and what you could do to improve.
Now write your summary.
3. Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s summaries and share them with the class.
Post-writing
Polish your summary and hand it in.
