We finished reading Medallion last week and have been working on a project to help us summarize what we've read. The 4th graders should have been writing a summary for each chapter as we have been reading it. Each summary needs to be between 4 to 7 sentences (this is different than the rubric) and include the MAIN events from each chapter. We have already learned to summarize using the framing of : Somebody, wanted to, but, so, then to help us thing of the important parts of the chapter. Read through the rubric below to get a better idea of what the project entails. Here is a link to the blog where this project came from if you want an idea of the end product: http://www.gottoteach.com/2015/04/matchbook-chapter-summaries-for-novel.html
