Being brief in our writing, is not easy. Students have the charge of taking an Unsung Hero, figuring out their legacy, and writing a brief paragraph about them. It is a switch from our longer essays that the students just completed. Stayed tuned for more details.

We are working on summarizing in reading and it is a skill that may seem easier than it is. Students were given one sentence and asked to change ONE word/phrase and then pass it to the next person (as well as covering up the original sentence). Once you get your original sentence back, the last sentence should be a summary of it. See above for an example.
