Grade 5 · Writing · Lesson 18

Take organized notes and summarize key facts

NOTES are short reminders of important information — not full sentences copied straight from a book or website. Strong fifth-grade note-takers pick a method that fits the source, write only what matters, and finish with a one-sentence summary in their OWN words.
