Posted on: April 28, 2020
Adolescents can use this resource to identify themes in literary texts and record textual details that introduce and develop the themes.
With this resource that includes a graphic organizer, children follow a step-by-step set of instructions that leads them to write an objective summary of a text. The summary does not include any opinions or judgments.
This graphic organizer helps students write down evidence they find in a text, make a prediction based on that evidence, write down any new evidence they find, and evaluate the prediction they made. Making predictions is a way for students to better comprehend a given text.
Many youth in the juvenile justice system with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders struggle with reading.
