Example One:In this video, the narrator talked about what summarizing is and how it narrows down what the text was about to the key details. Three major parts of this were, restate the most important points, condense key ideas, and remove repetition. The students ask themselves questions, when they are done writing. This allows the student to show how much they learned and if they understand the text. In this video students write down their answers and switch papers with another student and they go through a checklist. This is a formal way to assess the students, because they are getting written feedback and the teacher can go back and add their comments as well.

Example Two:In this video the instructor takes apart a paper and finds the key details in each paragraph to summarize it. She explains how some portions of the paper aren't really necessary for the main idea of the paper. Assessment for something like this could be, have an essay for a student and have them pick out the key events of each paragraph. This could be a formal assessment because the students could write down what they thought were the key events, like in the video and the students could turn in the paper.

https://youtu.be/AX81Y371TKI Writing Standard:
RL.6.6: Explain how an author develops the point of view of the narrator or speaker in a text. Summarizing is telling what a piece of text is about and picking out the main parts. With standard RL.6.6 the student would be able to pick out the points of view and summarize what they think the author was trying to do with the text. |
Writing Standard:
W.6.5: With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.
This could be used in a writing exercise, because the teacher or other students could teach each other how to summarize. The teacher could teach the students how to pick out the main details and put them together to make a summary, verses just retelling the whole story. The students could either summarize a whole story, or just a paragraph.

"Summarizing has been classified as one of the 11 elements of writing instruction effective in helping adolescents develop writing proficiency" (Literacy in Context (LinC), 2011). This could be used for a student by actively learning with a class and telling another student what they learned and summarize the main details.
