A total of 12 summaries are due on March 16th.
Dear Families,
We are off to a great start this year! We have been going over our classroom expectations. One of my expectations is reading for 20 minutes a night, including Saturday and Sunday. Students will need to write a summary that includes the important events that occur in the beginning, middle, and end when they finish a book. In sixth grade, they are required to write 4 summaries each nine week period. It will be a part of their grade. They will turn in their summaries as they finish them.
The books must be on the student’s reading level. A lot of popular books are much longer in length than others. Below is a chart showing how many “book credits” they will receive if a book is lengthy.
80-200 pages
1 book
201-300
2 books
300-400
3 books
401+
4 books
If a student turns in 20 summaries over the course of the school year, they will get to participate in a party! There is an example of a summary on the next page. If you have any questions, please feel free to stop by, call, email, or send in a note!
