Re: [MOSAIC] Summarizing

[Lisa Haines]

I really like the SWBST model
Somebody (Character)
Wanted  (Goal)
But             (Conflict)
So             (Solution)
Then    (Conclusion)

I use a cool hand graphic organizer with these terms labeling the  
fingers.
I explain to the students that this is just very simple and not giving  
tons of
details.  They seem to want to "retell" everything.  It has worked  
great so
far....working on this for several weeks.  One of my students even said  
that
this just gives you the "gist".

 so
many purposes. Does anyone have a tried and true method to teach 4th  
graders
 a way to summarize an article, chapter, or book?
