Based upon the Excellence in Writing program, this resource is designed to help children create key word outlines, and retell stories using those key words. Students listen to a story being read, writing down key words to paraphrase the main idea with. Outlines, vocabulary, thesaurus skills, drafts and other necessary writing skills will be introduced to the students as they listen to reading passages on American History. Reproducible worksheets include room for creating a new title, underlining and defining vocabulary words, looking up words in a thesaurus and finding synonyms, and outlining the story with the key word synonyms. A rewriting checklist is included for when the student summarizes the story (on a separate piece of paper). 45 pages, paperback, spiral-bound.
