Summarizing Sub Plan (No Prep): The Short Version, Grades 5-6 Reading

A summary is the short version, and it leaves things out. Students first work in the cutting room: a classmate wrote six sentences for summaries of two texts, and four of them do not belong. Students cross out those four and name why each one goes (an opinion, a minor detail or a copied line).
