It sounds like a super-fun lesson that appeals to students with multiple modalities. One question - If they don't like writing summaries, how do you get them to do that in the first step? Is it enough just to show them the end product so that they're jazzed to get started?

Pictures are appropriate to each slide's purpose/goal, & help communicate enthusiasm.

Excellent idea, that is such a great idea to help students understand reading fluently. You should really pass this on to other elementary schools...

I am impressed with how much you accomplished with a whole class (classes?)! Then how/where did you publish their summaries? How many students did you work with? Over how long a period of time? How many class periods did it take?

Great presentation! I especially like the idea of having them record their summaries. I did something similar in my Geography class, and was surprised to see how shy some of the students are when they are recording their own voices, but I definitely think this kind of exercise is good for them.

Great lesson idea! I love it that the students focused on reading and rereading their summary.

Wonderful opportunity for students to practice reading and presenting. An idea to share with all ELL teachers.

Very good. Like that you have incorporated use of technology to get students to respond with the garbageband.
