We are currently working on Creating a Summary, using historical literary non-fiction book "The Witchcraft of Salem Village". As we read, students are locating and analyzing information to determine which parts are important to determining main idea. We are working on using lots of evidence to back up all of our answers (and put it in writing).
Students are still responsible for "Read and Respond" (reading log). They are asked to choose (any) chapter book to read beginning to end. For every 20 minutes of reading, they write a 1-3 sentence main idea summary. An adult signature is required for each entry. This earns them team points AND DoJo points for each entry (in addition to a grade in Skyward for the required 2 entries)!
