Summarizing

Since returning from the March Break, we have been working on improving a very important reading strategy:  summarizing.  The students now know the difference between a retell and a summary.  This should help for our next CASI reading assessment as well as EQAO, not to mention our in- class evaluations.  After creating jot notes and writing a summary collaboratively as a class, here you will see photos of students working in groups of three or four to repeat that process with more independence and less support from me, using a different text.  Get them to practise this skill with the reading they do nightly!
