What Did Students Do?

I shared the book, Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed with the students on Monday.  As a large group, we then talked about what a summary was and together summarized the book, Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed.  Students were then split into groups.  They were given a book and worked together to summarize it on chart paper. Once they were ready, they shared their group summary with the class. We then read them the book, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything. We discussed the book and how we might summarize it.  Students were then asked to do their own summary for the book.
