03.23 - Unit 3 Roots, Summary

We started today's class with a review of the unit three roots and prefixes. We will be having a quiz on these roots on Friday that will be counted on the third quarter. While we were working with these roots, people completed a survey about our school's core values.

Next, we reviewed key elements of summary since this was something that proved difficult for people on their notecard practice sheet. The main points we focused on for summary were:

Identifies key elements of a text

Rewords and (re)organizes information (omitting non-essential information)

Uses formal diction

Everyone then read an article annotating it for its main ideas and proceeded to write a three sentence summary of the article. People then found the other two people who had read the same article and shared their summaries. Together the group then created an ideal/hybrid summary of the article. We shared these out at the end of class.
