Parallel Summary Writing with ESPN SportsCenter

A retelling is like a paraphrase. When you compare a retelling to the original text, it’s about the same length. A retelling includes a lot of the information found in the text.

However, a summary is going to be a little more general. It’s not the main idea, but it’s significantly shorter than a retelling. It’s much more general.
