Somebody, Wanted, But, So Summary Freebie! I love using "somebody, wanted, but so" to help my students organize fiction summaries! Today I have been working on some things for our fairy tale genre study and we'll be doing this next week: If you download it, let me know what you think! This is a perfect follow-up activity to the Little Critter freebie I posted a while back- summary cards. I am also so excited because I am now going to be contributing to The Best Endings... a blog all about BOOKS!
