The past couple of weeks we have been doing a Nelson Literecy book called "Fears and Phobias". We have been learning about Summerizing while listening the 5 main keys. They are what is the speaker talking about,what is the speaker trying to tell you, what details support the main idea, what details are not important to the main idea and what is the speakers point of view or tone. Now we are on text patterens the 6 main keys are begin with the background infor,retell the events in order, use the past tense,give percise details and use transition words. This is what we have been doing and it has been lots of fun to do.
