Pack contains: lesson plan, worksheets
Pack focus: summary writing activities, examples and practice.

**Even though this lesson was written for the story “Notes from the Midnight Driver”, the worksheet can be used before the book has been fully read**

Students learn how to write a good summary, why they are useful, and a step-by-step approach to writing one.

Activities include #hasthtag (identifying key themes and events through the smallest number of words possible), spot-the-extra-detail (identifying unnecessary information in a text), step-by-step guide to writing a summary, and a longer text to practice writing a summary, as well as suggestions of chapters/scenes to summarise from the book “Notes from the Midnight Driver” by Sonnenblick.
