Hello Everyone!
We have just finished writing our very first Nonfiction Summary over our Holiday Research Project.
I want you to Evaluate the summary in order to determine if it is a GOOD Summary.
Purpose of a Summary:
to reduce large sections of text to essential and important points and main ideas
Qualities of a Summary:
1. A Main Idea
2. Brief sentences that give important details of each topic
3. Focused on author's purpose (Persuade, Inform, or Entertain)

Cultures and Traditions Around The World!
This is my favorite time of the year! We have so many fun and exciting projects going on.
The Elephants and The Honeybees are researching information and traditions about Chinese New Year, Las Posadas, Hannukah, and Kwanzaa. There are so many resources we can use in order to learn about how people with different cultures celebrate. We are spending our time in the library this week reading books, exploring the internet, and watching videos to find out all about other cultures and traditions around the world!! This project is even more exciting because we are getting to work in groups!
