Google Drive™ folder
Description
Do your students have a hard time writing summaries that get to the point? This method of summary writing may help them to narrow down the main idea and back it up with details from the text. This lesson uses the SAAC (State it, Author, Action, Complete the Sentence) strategy to help students write topic sentences.
The example topic sentence and summary in the presentation is meant to be funny and is not about a real article. This can be edited to something more relevant to your topic at the time and then can be used with any article of your choosing!
What is included?
- Editable Google Slides presentation to teach the method
- Editable Google Document Assignment Sheet that can be used with any article! (The assignment sheet can be completed online or can be printed and completed on paper)
- TOU page that has ideas for use in the online or in-person classroom
- Both of these files can be downloaded from Google in multiple formats such as PPTX or DOC or PDF.
"This really helped with teaching summaries." - Karen K.
"Love this strategy. It has been our go-to for nonfiction summaries to help keep students focused during their writing." - Ashante C.
