**Warm up:** Using the notecards on the table, respond to the following quote "Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first." Frederick B. Wilcox

** Summarization **







**Writing Your Own Summary** Click on the link below to read about the Blio eReader - Amazing!! Read the article once and then read a second time. As you read, write down the key words and phrases on a notecard. Now choose 10 words/phrases from your list and write a summary about the article using these words/phrases to guide the writing. Write your summary in Word. [|**Blio eReader**]


 * Discussion Activity:** Go to the discussion tab and using "summarization" as your subject, write about the value you perceive summarization to have on students' learning. Then respond to two others' postings.

**QAR (Question Answer Relationship)**







Open the tab below and with a partner, sort the questions into the correct category. Refer back to the text to determine what you need to do in order to answer the question. This will help you decide into which category each belongs.



Read the "History of the Teddy Bear" and using the chart paper (yes, we are using paper for this activity!), create a question that represents each of the four types:
 * right there
 * think and search
 * author and me
 * on my own




 * Discussion Activity:** How do you see summarization and questioning working together to support students' reading/learning? Go to the discussion tab and using QAR as your subject, respond to the question and then respond to two other posts.
