I created this activity to introduce my students to write a well-rounded summary for a piece of fiction writing. Every year I see students struggling with how to correctly write a summary. I begin this lesson as a whole group activity then transition the lesson into small groups. I begin the summary practice by teaching my students to use an SWBST graphic organizer. They find that it’s much easier than they originally thought to write a well-organized summary. This activity provides practice for SOLs 4.5d and 4.6e.
