Firestation Trip Summary - Daniel, Shakaia, Te Wai, Nazella

Daniel, Shakaia, Te Wai and I made summary of how firefighters keep us safe. We worked collaboratively to find the six most important words, then write a summary. Firefighters are first-responders meaning they are the first people who will come to you if there is an emergency. They are trained to help people, not only from our community but others. 

Summarizing - Troublesome Jones

 

In reading, we have been learning how to summarize a text. To help Mia and I summarize, we chose 20 words that were important. We then chose 6 words that was vital. With these 6 words, we wrote sentences that summed up the text. This skill will help me in reading tests because I am able to summarize a text quickly. 

Kate Sheppard and the Suffragettes - Summary

Mia, Javeylor, Zahra, Mishaan and I made a 25 word summary about what the Suffragette Movement was. The Suffragette Movement was a campaign created for a right to vote as women since they weren't allowed to. It was difficult making the 25 word summary, because we couldn't fit everything in, but we managed, by talking with each other and discussing what was important and what wasn't in the summary. 

Summarizing

In reading we were focusing on how to summarize. A summary is like a shorter version of a text. We read an article called, "Eco Rangers Save The Planet". After reading parts of the text, we wrote down 20 important words from the text, then we lowered it down to 6, then created a short summary using them.
