Summarizing Non-Fiction High Interest Articles

In class, we discussed the meaning and importance of summarizing.  A summary is a brief statement that explains the "big picture" of a passage or story.  A summary supports the entire passage including the beginning, middle, and end.

Task:  Read a TIME magazine article and write a summary that shows me and your classmates that you have mastered the art of writing a summary.  Write the title and author of the article, and keep the article in your reading file so that you can teach the class a short lesson on summarizing with your work.
