Our fourth one is 'Summarizing', which is a recounting of a story, focusing on only the important details of setting, character and plot!

Below there's an example we used earlier this year on a short story called 'The Desk'. If you don't remember it (or the 'Must Sees' of a Summary), check it out again! You can also re-watch the story from the Padlet link.

After reviewing what a summary needs, watch the short story below (called 'L.O.U.')! After watching, create a 'recount' or 'summary' of the story! If you don't want to use this story, feel free to use any narrative (fiction) story off our Epic Online Library!

SUMMARIZING REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT
What is a 'summary' or 'recount' of this story? You'll be writing it out in a response (either voice recorded, written by hand with a picture/scan taken, or typed up using your choice of a variety of online programs), including...

- Setting (when and where, descriptive words)
- Characters (main characters only; who they are, what their role is, their appearance and their personality)
- Plot (problem and solution, maximum of three events being explained)

I've attached a graphic organizer below to help you, along with an electronic link!

Please turn in your work in our Language Arts section on Edmodo!]]> 2020-05-27 20:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day42/wish/597855263 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day42/wish/601406212 2020-05-29 15:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day42/wish/601406212 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day42/wish/601415353 2020-05-29 15:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day42/wish/601415353 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day42/wish/601551715 If you've completed all your work for the week and are looking for a simple activity to play, try this one!
