We are trying different strategies to help us develop skill skills in summarising. Today we used the traditional tale of Jack and the Beanstalk to highlight important facts in our trios, then went into section groups depending on whether we were the beginning, middle or end of the story. Finally we retold the story in our own words to the class. We reflected on what went well and what would be even better if……. and are writing hints to help one another summarise effectively.
