give me a quick passage that 5th graders will have to write a 2 to n3 sentence summary on using SWBST (Somebody, wanted, but, so, then)
This learning resource focuses on teaching students how to summarize a story using the SWBST strategy, which stands for Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then. The objective is for students to create a concise 2-3 sentence summary of a passage by identifying the main character, their goal, the problem they face, the actions taken to resolve the issue, and the ultimate resolution. The resource includes a breakdown of each component, practical exercises using the story 'The Lion and the Mouse', and guided practice for students to apply the strategy to their own reading.
