Today we started our first practice with summarizing in science. We will be doing monthly articles from a Super Science magazine to practice summarizing non-fiction (scientific communication target) including finding quotes to support the summary ideas. We started by taking down a "somebody wanted but so" graphic organizer into our stem notebooks. We will use this strategy to pull out the main ideas then fill in with supporting details and quotes.
The article that the read today was about some conservationists that are trying to protect sloths in South and Central America. We will finish the class summary tomorrow and students will practice on their own articles on Monday.
