Objective:  I can write a summary statement for each main idea in Parts 6 and 7 by identifying them in my homework notes and the text of “Land” and by consulting my elbow partner.  I can write a summary of Parts 6 and 7 by revising my summary statements to make them “short–but thorough” and by providing necessary transitions.

Activities:

1.  SSR:  Students will add inferences for their SSR books onto the 4-Column Journal.
2. Share Out:  A volunteer will present his/her first summary statement from yesterday’s activity.
3. Think Pair/Share(Optional):  Students will write down the remaining summary statements by identifying main points in their homework notes and consulting with their elbow partners.
4. Promethean Board:  After writing the topic sentence, a volunteer or the teacher will model writing the first supporting sentence by editing(if necessary) the first summary statement.
5. Independent Study:  Students will complete the summary for submission.
