Summarizing with James and the Giant Peach

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Elementary readers in literature groups practice summarizing chapter-by-chapter with Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach. Focus on main idea, supporting details, and the 5 Ws. Unfortunately, a clever "peach" graphic organizer to which the plan refers is not attached. Contains a detailed teacher script.
