๐Ÿ“šโœจ From Individual Thinking to Collaborative Learning! โœจ๐Ÿ“š

Our 7th graders are putting their summary skills into action! Students first wrote their own summaries of a text, then worked together to combine their thinking into a strong group summary. After sharing their work aloud, students used a rubric to evaluate which group's summary best met the expectations.

A great example of students learning from one another, applying rubric criteria, and taking ownership of their learning! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿฆ‚
