A Challenger Appears

I've always found writing to be moderately easy for me...in English class. In other classes, such as history or science curriculums,  I've struggled with being able to write in an appropriate format or make my ideas understandable. Find the main idea of a passage? Sure, no problem, until it's a scientific journal study and I need to summarize the entire fact-packed entry. To explain, I have the option to get 20 bonus points by summarizing five science journal entries, which I didn't think would be a problem. However, I'm finding it challenging to get all the important ideas down without entirely erasing the processes used in the experiments talked about. I've finished three, and in the middle of the fourth, so it's slow work, but it's moving along.
