Are you looking for a collaborative activity for your students to practice the critical comprehension skill of summarizing? Try out this Summarizing using the SWBST Strategy Carousel Activity to get students moving around your class and thinking deeply about summarizing!

The "carousel" strategy allows students to respond to questions at different stations around the room (move around like a carousel) in partners or groups and fosters collaboration.

Here's what's included...

• "Carousel" Instructions for Students
• 5 SWBST Strategy "Carousel" Posters
• 1 Passage to practice SWBST Strategy (Any passage can be used, though)
• 2 Summarizing using the SWBST Strategy Worksheets with Answer Keys- one to record evidence and one to create a complete summary
• Rubric

I love using the "carousel" strategy to get students talking and moving around the room. They enjoy working with partners to complete the work, and get to put all their thoughts together while completing the carousel. At the end, students will create a complete summary and read it together. The great thing is this activity can be done with any passage, but one is included in the resource. This activity would be a great way to wrap up a Summarizing Unit!
