I am starting to finish up non-fiction summaries with my 6th graders. We have been reading the passage, Lights! Camera! Invention by John James. This passage is all about Thomas Edison and the inventions he has made. It’s really engaging and the sixth graders love when we read this passage. We have been discussing what goes into writing a non-fiction summary and using a graphic organizer to help us out before we begin to write.
After we finish this strategy, we will be moving on to text evidence. I had found a great anchor chart on another blog, but re-wrote the sentences and changed some things around to my liking. I also made my own text evidence charts to go along with it that you can find on my TpT store if you’re interested!
