Patriot Day News

Students read a short news article about a Patriot Day ceremony, then write a respectful summary in 3-5 sentences using their own words. They must identify the main ideas, important events, and emotional tone of the ceremony. This strengthens summarizing skills, reading comprehension, and understanding of journalistic structure. Students also practice using concise, formal language appropriate for reporting.
