Chapter Summary - Brain Forest 2019

Hi students! Today we read chapters 11 and 12 in the novel Restart! You all will work to summarize the chapters! Remember, a summary is a shortened version of the most important events, in your own words. Do not copy text directly from the novel. Write out your summary in your notebooks. You can write it in the form of a text message between characters or you can sketch out a comic. When you are finished writing out your summary, you can use the chromebooks to create either a virtual comic or a fake text message between two characters.
