The Summarizer Role

In class on Monday and Tuesday we are continuing our review of implied main idea with a quick warm-up activity. Then we are reading Maniac Magee through chapter 28. Instead of a role sheet students will meet in literature circles for discussion of the story and the completion of a summary using one of our summarization strategies:

• "Somebody Wanted But So"
• "Fortunately, Unfortunately"
