Many times we ask students to read and summarize an article or a passage . We want them to be able to present an overview of the article. We need them to tell us what new information they acquired.
An organizer can help them show what they understanding about the information given. Give then the article and a graphic organizer to the students. In the first section( it can be a bubble, rectangle, or square) , they will fill in prior knowledge ( what they already know about the subject before reading) .
While students read have them highlight or underline the important ideas in the paragraphs Then in the second section ,they can write in 3 or 4 main or most important facts they have discovered.
In the third space, students can write down a fact or idea that was interesting to them , or a question they had about the topic. Students can then use this to write a short summary if you wish.
The first time you do this , you may want to model what to do in each section. This can be adapted to almost any grade level. You could have students do this in pairs.
