Any Novel chapter Summary Pages
By Meggen Loew
Utilize any of these three summary pages as a way for students to record summaries of a chapter in any novel they read.
Instruct students to complete the pages as needed.
These are the directions I typically give for filling out summaries:
Print off as many pages as your student will need to complete chapter summaries for each chapter in their book or each assigned section of their reading in order to summarize their book accurately.
I have also provided a cover page, allowing students to collect all their pages together and submit a completed project. A basic rubric is included as well.
