School Wide Summarizing Activity August 30, 2011 Chameeka N. Smith, Principal Intern School Wide Summarizing Activity August 30, 2011 Each grade level has been given an article to read. Please complete the following activities based on your grade level’s assigned article.   1. Have students read the article independently. While they read students need to… underline/circle unfamiliar vocabulary words. write questions and main ideas in the margins of the article. 2. Place students into groups of two or three.

Lead a classroom discussion of the article. Use a few of the questions provided on the Word document and feel free to add other questions you might create. 4. Have students write a one-paragraph summary of the article they read. There are two SMART Board slides for you to use: one provides the definition of summary and the other provides steps for students to use as they write their summary. 5.
