***Easel Assessment (only available if you purchase on TPT) : Self-Checking multiple choice version (with audio support – quickly delete if you don’t want)
This product helps students write summaries using the BME strategy: beginning, middle, and end. For the multiple choice questions, the students can use a chart to show whether each answer choice includes details from the beginning, middle, and end of the passage. When students write their summary from scratch, they can plan it on a BME chart as well. This resource is designed to simulate the common ways that students might see summary questions on high-stakes testing and help them learn to choose the best summary option.

My students loved this resource. It was very helpful for them since they were struggling with some aspects of summarising and thus material helped them to tackle the strategy.

Summarizing was a real struggle for my students. This really helped them stay focused on what a summary is and how to make one. Easy to follow. Thank you.

I used the slides as formative assessments and summative. Great addition to my toolkit, I loved that these fit well with SWBST and talked about BME of a passage.
