Do your students struggle when it’s time to write concise summaries? Teach them to effectively synthesize information using the GIST strategy.
⠀
GIST (Generating Interactions between Schemata and Text) is a strategy for establishing comprehension of a text. It encourages students to write concise meaningful summaries, and it works well with all levels of readers. ⠀
⠀
The goal of a GIST summary is for students to be able to convey the “GIST” of what they read without the extraneous details. ⠀
⠀
Here’s how it works:⠀
⠀
1. Begin the GIST strategy by having students read a short piece of text. ⠀
2. After reading, instruct students to answer who, what, when, where, why, and how questions based on the text selection. ⠀

3. Next, have students condense their answers into a one-sentence summary. ⠀
⠀

Mention them all! Self-help books are always hit or miss. I guess it depends on what you need from the book, and what you are open to receiving. I really liked 𝘈𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘏𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 by James Clear. What some other good ones? ⁣

Use this on the first day of school! ⬇️

To help take away some of those first day jitters, you can use the activity described below for student introductions. Students will be introducing a classmate to the rest of the class.

1. Start with classmate interviews. Here are the interview questions:

What is your first and last name?
How old are you?
When is your birthday?
What is one word that describes you?
What are five interesting things about you or your life? (ex: four siblings, played soccer, traveled to China, pet dog named Spot, favorite movie…)

2. After the interviews, students write their classmate introduction "speech" on paper or notecards. Here is an outline they can follow:

"Good Morning! My name is ___________."
"I would like to introduce you to ___________."
"__________ is ____ years old. His/her birthday is on ____________. One word to describe him/her is __________."
"Five interesting things about ___________ are..."
"Thank you for listening. It was a pleasure introducing you to ____________."

Providing students with a bit of structure should help calm nerves. I'll leave the link in bio @literacyinfocus if you want the printable interview worksheet and outline template.
