 The 45/60 Second Summary Challenge

  • Who invites Harry to their Deathday party?
  • Do you think he made the right decision? Would you go to the party? Why, or why not?
  • Harry hears the voice again and he tries to follow it. What would you do if you were Harry?
  • What does Harry find when he follows the voice?
  • How would you react to the writing on the wall, and Mrs. Norris being petrified?
  • What do you think the teachers/Dumbledore should do?
  • Should Hogwarts be closed? Explain.
  • What should Harry do about the voices? What would you do?
Directions:
Since we are completely virtual we will not be competing in the 45 second Summary Challenge. Instead we will use this time to work together to write our summary. 

Remember school is about learning, and not just completing work!!! Many students are just completing work, but they are not watching the videos or participating in virtual classes and therefore they are not learning and improving. Instead all they are doing is completing work, and their writing is not showing any signs of improvement. Today we will write our summaries together.

Your summaries should include:
  • the main idea (think mood/big idea)
  • the most important details from the chapter
  • reflection (Your own thoughts about the events of the chapter)

As you are working your teachers will come around to provide you with support. Your teachers might ask you questions like the ones listed below. As you get better at writing you won't need as much support, and you should be able to ask yourself these questions about your own writing.
  • What does your summary need to start with?
  • Have you written the main idea?
  • What did you write for your main idea?
  • What details are you including?
  • Why are those details important?
  • Have you used any transitional words to connect your thoughts and sentences? 
  • Are there any places where you should use transitional words or phrases.
  • What are your thoughts on the events of the chapter? (reflection)
  • What do you think about what you read? 
  • How do these events show that Harry is a literary hero?
  • Capitals, Periods, Grammar, & Sentence Structure

YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO FOLOW THE RULES OF WRITING. 
  • Indent the first sentence
  • All other lines are lined up on the margin line
  • Words go on the line
  • Put spaces between your words
  • Proper capitalization & Punctuation
  • Spelling matters (You should not be spelling words from the book incorrectly, especially character's names)
  • Neatness
