Step 8:
Summarize what was read by identifying the gist of selection and how to summarize
Teacher:  I can summarize the selection we just read in class, by sayingthat scientists classify animals in three ways:  invertebrates, vertebrates, and radial symmetry.  I knew that the selection was going to to talk about classifying animals because of the subheading, "Animal Classification."  I also knew the three main ways of classification because the terms were in bold print.  I also knew the definitions of the words from reading in the text selection.  Does anyone have anything to add to my summary on this selection?
