Sum it up!

This week we have been working on summarizing a story. In your post today, please summarize a story that you read during Read to Self time. Remember that summarizing is only telling the most important parts of a story.

You may want to include the main characters, the setting, and what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story.

If you have not finished a story this week, you can summarize our shared story, Zathura.


Please write in complete sentences when you summarize. Happy summarizing 304!
