Skimming | Patō | Reading

Mr Wong's reading task was about skimming the 'South Pacific Beats' article. The article was about the Patō drum. The Patō is a modernised electric drum with a microphone that is similar to the lali. It was made by Racheal Hall.

The task we were given, was to create a brief summary of each page for the article 'South Pacific Beats'. After doing that, we made another summary but for the whole article. We made the summaries by skimming the article.

You can read the first (topic) sentence of each paragraph to know what the paragraph is about. To identify paragraphs, they usually have spaces between each paragraph or an indent to the first sentence. For example:
The drumbeats of the log drum have been a very traditional note/sound in the Pacific for centuries.
