As promised, here are the make-up Processing Activities for our Lit. Circles. You will need the book to complete these activities.
To complete the Summarizing activity for tonight, divide your paper into three equal columns (burrito style). Label one column “Name it,” the second “Verb it,” and the third “Finish it.” Together, these three columns form one sentence that would be your topic sentence if you were asked to write a paragraph summary of the reading.
Name it – Tell what it is you are going to be summarizing
Verb it – list an action word
Finish it – finish the sentence by telling what happened.
Example:
Name it: In chapter 6 and 7, Charlotte
Verb it: experiences
Finish it: a display of the crew’s sailing duties, concerning words from Barlow, and a frightful image in the cargo area.
Don’t use this example, but let it serve as a model for how you might do yours in your own words.
Due Wednesday!
