Review with students that a summary is a brief retelling of a story/scene that includes all the main (important) points.
Introduce/review (depending on your students' knowledge) that a "scene" includes actions, thought, and dialogue. In writing/telling a summary it is important to include information from all three sources.
Ask students what information is important to include in a summary of a scene: Briefly, what caused the conflict to begin? What events or conflicts followed? How did it conclude?
Possible thoughts for discussion in community share:
- Julian said, "For reasons we had not spoken of, yet each of us understood, none of us was ready to reveal our association" (p. 109). What does this mean? Why do you think this was so?
- Before Julian ran backstage he pressed a Year-of-the-Souls penny into Noah's hand, and then Noah slipped one into Ethan's hand. What did this mean?
