Focus this week: Summarizing Fiction & Biographies
Strategy explained...In order to summarize a story you must retell the main events in a story. A summary is a shorter version of a story. It is important to consider the main elements of a story when writing a summary: Who are the main characters? What problem does the main character encounter? How does the main character solve the problem? Where does the story take place (setting)? What is the plot (main events) of the story?
