- In Other Words – paraphrasing practice. Students will match the sentence that correctly paraphrases each of the famous proverbs/quotes.
- Paraphrasing Practice – students will paraphrase 3 different passages
- Summarizing Practice – students will summarize 3 different passages
- Sum It Up – students will read 3 short passages. They will choose the question that each passage answers and move it underneath the passage. Then they will summarize the passage.
- Wow or Blah Notes – students will move 10 notes and decide if it is a wow or blah note. A Wow note is written in phrases and paraphrases the topic. A blah not is in complete sentences, copied directly from the text or is off-topic.
- Note-taking practice: students will sort 9 different notes under the correct heading the note is about.
The content is almost identical as my print Summarizing and Paraphrasing Activity pack, just in a digital version.
This is not an editable resource.
