Summarizing in Sound Bites
"Extended practice in creating news headlines will help students develop a paraphrasing mindset. Although the actual headline may be a helpful mnemonic for long-term retention, the creation of a line to accurately and completely portray the concepts, events, or people is what results in solid learning. Students critiquing each other’s headlines in light of their learning will also help them retain information."
-Rick Wormeli (Summarization in any Subject)
