Summary Strategies - 1 views

  •  
    In reference to a comment below regarding Magnet Summaries, there are a lot of really good summarizing strategies out there that would be Writing to Learn. This link to our AEA 267 ELA Website has a page devoted to summaries. Within the page you'll notice a few strategies are shared, and there is also a reference to the following book: Summarization in Any Subject: 50 Techniques to Improve Student Learning by Rick Wormeli. It is an awesome resource available through AEA 267's lending library.
