Determine Importance in a Fiction Text

The students have been reading fiction text to determine the most important events. They independently read a text and determine the most important events in the beginning, middle, and end of the story. They also collaborated with others who read the same text to discuss which events were important and share the book they read with the class. Next week, these readers will use this skill of determining importance to write summaries. It is amazing to see the growth these readers have made this year!
