SUMMARIZATION STRATEGIES from Rick Wormeli
According to Robert Marzano's research shared above, students make significant gains when teachers plan learning activities that allow time for processing information - summarizing it - in different ways. Below are low-prep, multi-modal activities that are applicable in all contents from upper elementary-to high school classrooms.
