Activity #1

Writing a Summary

RI6.1 - Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

RI6.2 - Determine the central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions and judgements

Direction

Read the article, "How Donald Duck and Peanuts Saved Trick-or-Treating"

*As we read I want you to think about these questions:

1. What is each paragraph about?

2. What Questions do I have?

3. What parts do I not understand?

How many sections of information does this article have?

4. What is the Topic, or Main Idea?

5. What evidence makes me think that?

Step 1 - Read the Article

Step 2 - Reread the article. As we read Write small inferences, thoughts, and questions you have in the margin.

Step 3 - Underline evidence & important details

Step 4 - Complete the Main Idea & Details Graphic Organizer.

• How many categories of information are there?
• What is the most important details/information in each category?
• Write down the most important detail/information from each category.
• Write the main idea. (Don't overlook the importance of the title in determining the main idea)

Step 5 - Use the Main Idea & Graphic Organizer to write a summary. Remember the directions for how to write a summary on page 30 in your notebook. Include transitional words and phrases to make your writing flow smoothly from one detail to another. 

Have a great day!
