STEP 2:

• Teacher leads the class in a discussion of the passage, helping students understand how to summarize the content while picking out the main theme and details.
• Teacher models how to create a summary by reading a passage aloud and assigning a title that fits the passage’s content.

STEP 3:

• Students are assigned to read a passage on a topic of their choice (from patriotism, corruption, or kidnapping) and come up with a title that reflects the key points in the text.
• Students then write a summary that effectively captures the main points while ensuring the title is representative of the passage.

STEP 4:

• After completing their summaries, students exchange their work with a partner for peer review. Each student will review their partner’s summary and title to ensure that it effectively reflects the passage.
