Instructional Ideas

• This basic organizer would work well as a first assignment and check for understanding after learners read a story; class members could then adapt this into a summary
• Have individuals fill out this form for the books and stories they read independently as a form of accountability

Pros

• The prompts for each section are clear and create a basic summary template
• This could be used for any text

Cons

• This is a fairly basic worksheet that may need additional scaffolding
