GIST = Generating Interactions Between Schemata and Text GIST also called as main ideas of paragraphs One approach to summarizing a text Summarizing requires focus on the main ideas of a text and decide what is important without omitting key ideas Main idea can be found in first sentence usually but not always, sometimes it will appear in the middle or even in the last of paragraph Main idea same as topic sentence

LOCATION OF TOPIC SENTENCE
