Summarizing
In September, we worked on summarizing non-fiction text and coming next month, we will be working on summarizing news stories. This week, find a story in the news that interests you. You can find it in a newspaper, online or on TV. Once you have decided on the story, write a summary of the important points. Remember to include the who, what, where, when and why of the story. For this job, you should also tell us why this issue is important or interesting to you.
Some great websites for news for kids are:
