Presentation transcript:

Summarizing is when larger selections of text are reduced to their bare essentials: the gist, the key ideas, and the main points that are worth noting and remembering. Webster's calls a summary the "general idea in brief form"; it is the distillation, condensation, or reduction of a larger work into its primary notions.

Summarizing is a metacognotive means of monitoring, through which students can evaluate their understanding of a passage that they have just read.

First, the reader must read content, and interpret the content into his or her own understanding. The reader must look for the most important ideas within the content. Lastly, the reader must put all of the main ideas together in a logical order.

This lesson is designed to expand primary students' summarizing skills. In this lesson, students will summarize Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett. First, they will work in groups to complete assigned parts of a story map. Then, they will summarize the entire story as a class. Finally, they will create their own summary picture books to help them summarize the story. This is the final lesson in a set of summarizing lessons designed for primary grades. summarizingwork in groups Jerry could not wait until school got out for the weekend. This weekend he was going camping with his dad. Jerry could already feel the campfire’s warmth and taste the s’mores. His dad took him camping last year, and they caught many fish near the stream and saw many animals. Jerry looked forward to this camping trip with his dad every year.  Jerry looks forward to going camping with his dad every year.  Jerry likes to sit around the campfire and eat s’mores.  Last year Jerry and his dad caught many fish and saw many animals.
