Description

Present your students with summarizing activities that are actually fun! Your students will enjoy writing or telling summaries based on the popular movies and stories included in this product. This is a challenging skill for many students to master, so make it more authentic for them by providing them with activities that are relevant to their lives and to pop culture.

What are other customers saying about this product?

"While this is going to be great for introducing and practicing summarization concepts, I'm also going to use this for a student that has difficulty with executive function and recall. SO glad I got this. Just what I didn't know I was looking for! ;-)"

"My 6-8 grade special education students really enjoyed guessing the movie summaries, and producing their own while peers tried to guess the movie. Thanks!"

"My kids had a lot of fun with these and then extended the activity to make up their own. Thanks!"
