This post is regarding a lesson that I did over summarizing. I created this lesson to teach students how to successfully create a summary over a story! The picture below shows the visual/ poster board that I made for the lesson. If you look on the poster board, you should see a hand. I thought this was a cute idea to use when teaching them the five elements that you'd need to create a summary. The acronym for the five elements are Somebody Wanted But So Then (SWBST).
S- Who is the main character in the story?
W- What did the character want?
B- What was the problem?
S- How did the character try to solve the problem?
T- What was the resolution to the story?
Using this acronym, the students can be very successful when writing a summary to their story.
Please excuse the mess. It was raining that day.

I love the freebies on Teachers Pay Teachers, like a Roll + Retell write-up ! And I see SWBST in my 2nd grader's reading homework packet this week.
