more on summarizing

This is my poster for summarizing the story How To Babysit an Orangutan in the 4th grade Trophies book. You can see that it is interactive.We build the summary together during class. (I used velcro after laminating the strips to attach them to the poster. ) All of these posters are hung on top of each other for easy storage. You can see the red hooks at the top of the picture. I tried to take the focus skill from each story and make an interactive poster for teaching the lesson. I got many of my ideas for the posters right out of the teaching manual. Although it was a lot of work at the beginning, I have used them for many years now and they are so easy.Christine
