Somebody (Character)
Wanted (Goal)
But (Conflict)
So (Solution)
Then (Conclusion)
I use a cool hand graphic organizer with these terms labeling the
fingers.
I explain to the students that this is just very simple and not giving
tons of
details. They seem to want to "retell" everything. It has worked
great so
far....working on this for several weeks. One of my students even said
that
this just gives you the "gist".
