, This lesson is designed to introduce students to a story. The lesson shows students how
to summarize a part of Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia. In this lesson, students will help you
complete a story map, and then they will illustrate a part of the story. They will use their
drawings to help them summarize a part of the story. This is the first lesson of a set of
summarizing lessons designed for primary grades.
This lesson, which focuses on summarizing, assumes that students are already familiar
with basic story elements including character, plot, and settingSummarizing also
requires students to be familiar with sequencing events and determining importance. If
students are unfamiliar with these concepts, you will need to take some time
introducing them.
MATERIALS
BOOK, CHART PAPER STORY MAP AND DRAWING PAPER COLORS
PROCEDURE 1. HOOK/ENGAGEMENT
Engage students with this activity by writing these questions on the blackboard or on a
piece of chart paper:
• Who plays the game (characters)?
• Where is the best place to play the game (setting)?
• How do you play the game (events)?
• Who wins the game (solution)?
Ask students to think about a favorite game or sport that they play. Examples include
neighborhood games such as Kick the Can or organized sports such as Tball and soccer.
Read through each of the questions you wrote on the board, and have students answer
the questions about the sport or game they choose. Explain to them that answering the
four questions helps them remember and talk about the most important parts of their
game or sport. There could be other important information, or details, about their game
or sport, but these questions help students think about the most important aspects.
Explain to students that they are going to read Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia and summarize
some of the parts of the story, including the baseball game.
