Overview

Wormeli, a teacher certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, makes a case for summarization as one of the most effective, flexible, and engaging ways to improve student learning. He presents written, spoken, artistic, and kinesthetic summarization techniques for both individual assignments and group activities across the content areas. Suitable for students in grades 3-12, the techniques are easily adjustable to any curriculum and presented with detailed directions and multidisciplinary examples. The book concludes with original text excerpts and activity prompts. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
