Thanks you for the responses. I am going to try the ideas and plow along. I am wondering about adding student thinking to the summaries. We ask them constantly to think... should a summary ask them to do some thinking? I know that I have seen an organizer for note-taking (I think for determining importance) that asks students to write down the important ideas in one column, interesting facts, in the second column, and the student's thinking in the third column. I am not sure if this is a good organizer for a summary. Should summaries have interesting details or just main ideas?
