Today we are learning to look for keywords and phrases. We had to read a article called The boy on the bike. Each paragraph we have to make summaries in 2 sentences. We had to read the article and answer what is happening, where is the event happening, who is involved, when it is happening, why did the event occur and how did things get started. At the really bottom we had to write the summary after a paragraph.
