1-say
2-sketch
3-write
Reading:
State the Strategy: Today we will also be reviewing summarizing what’s most essential.
First: Think about the most important events in the story. You will probably mention the problem or what the character wants.
Then, you’ll tell the most important parts in the middle of the story and connect it to the want or the problem. Tell these events in order!
Then, think about how the story ends. Finally, tell about the ending.
Use short sentences for each part.
