We have been working really hard in 5th grade on Summarizing both fiction and non fiction text. I use the strategy of SWBST (Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then) to help students create a fiction summary. On Pinterest and Teachers Pay Teachers there are lots of great bookmarks and organizers that go along with this strategy. However, as we switched our focus to non fiction text, I had a hard time finding resources to help students create a good summary of informational text. I wanted the acronym SWBST to remain the same since the students did so well with this strategy when working with fiction. So....I decided to make my own resources. For non fiction text, the SWBST stands for Somethings, Purpose, But, So,Then. I created a graphic organizer for students to use as well as non fiction summary bookmarks that the students can use as an aid when writing non fiction summaries. The only other difference is that in the acronym for non fiction the "then" comes before the "so".
