OR "You shouldn't judge a book by its cover." My students did not know how to deeply analyze a piece of writing let alone write a strong thematic

Fictional Narrative Writing Plan
I was struggling to have my students plan out their writing and could not find anything on tpt to assist so I decided to make my own! This plan is so scaffolded that all of my different-leveled learners were able to write an extensive narrative that was both creative and unique. This worked really well for my 5th graders but I think it could work well for any grades 3rd-12th.

We always need to determine whether or not the students understand the material that we cover in class.

How to Write a Summary 3rd-8th Grades
After reviewing several summary resources, I've made a quick sheet to help students develop summarizing skills by scaffolding on their knowledge of main idea and details. There are still synthesizing skills required for the combination of beginning, middle and end events in the plot. However, this is a great template for building those skills regularly for summarizing chapters, sections, lessons or non-fiction articles.
