Article of the week: Would you do that?

Goal: Mastering the art of summary.

Agenda: 
Read
Summary Example
Read and Write


2. Summary Example:

• We noticed in your previous AOW assignments that most of you could use some help writing better summaries. 
• Review the example below and see how it fits with the summary frame pictured below. 

3.  Read a new AOW and write about it: 

1. Read THIS ARTICLE assigned to you in Newsela. (sign in with Google.) 
2. Time yourself. It should take you 3-7 minutes to read this article. (I timed myself reading it carefully and it took me three minutes and twenty-eight seconds.)
3. Open your EJ and use the summary frame in this picture to write a paragraph about what you just read. 
4. Write a second paragraph about what you think about the article. Do you know people who would do this? 

Reminders: 
If you didn't finish reading "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" you should finish that.
Finish your group novel by the end of next week.
Choose a book you'll be reading after that.
