Hello!
One of the assessments my district uses is the DRA2. In order to be Independent at the end of second grade and above, the students are expected to include the important characters, events, and details in a written summary of what they have read. DRA2 provides this simple graphic organizer. I added some clip art and enlarged it so that my students can refer to it when they practice writing summaries in their journals. The prompts help remind them to include the details that happened all throughout the story, not just what happens at the beginning and the end.
