Finding keywords and summarising
Today we looked at a book called Energy and tried to find keywords in it. Keywords are like the super important words on each page that help us to get the main idea. We also summarised the main idea on each page into 2 or 3 sentences, changing it into our own words as well. We were learning to think about these main ideas by using keywords as clues. I know that key words are called key words because they are like the key to unlocking the ideas in the story.
