Summary
Let’s write a summary. A very short summary. With VERY strict rules.
- First, students summarize a story's plot as a *haiku*, using the three lines of the poem to summarize the beginning, middle, and end.
- Next, they'll write a *haiku* from a character's perspective.
- Then, they'll write a different character's perspective.
- Now, they'll sum up a dramatic moment in the story from a particular character's point of view.
- Finally, they will revise their *haiku*.

Teachers love Byrdseed.TV!
"I am the coordinator for our district gifted program. Byrdseed.TV is one of my favorite sites and one of the best investments I have made for the program." ~ Jeannette in California
"I absolutely LOVE all of the ideas on your site. I am using Byrdseed TV to differentiate activities for my clustered students to work on when the rest of the class is doing something they've already mastered." ~ Wendy in Washington
"I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way (that, by the way, is a compliment)." ~ Elizabeth from Florida
