One student had written his opinion, a couple had written their thoughts about the text, but few had been able to actually pull out examples from the text and summarize it in their own words. So, I decided to create some scaffolding sheets that will help them when writing summaries (Which we'll be doing a lot next week as I re-teach!)

Enjoy!
I notice the same thing from my students when they write summaries in Science and SS. I like the format of your freebie! Thanks for sharing!!
