Summarize Anything!

All fourth and fifth grade students are working on summary writing in the first trimester. It is our goal for eighty percent of our students to be proficient in writing a summary. Students can summarize anything. For example, they can summarize a story, a book they have read, an article in the newspaper....Anything!

Students are using the summary plan document along with a writing effective summaries sheet. Make sure that you have a large supply of post it notes on hand to practice at home.
