More summary, please? #3

Ah, I hear you have been reading the story of the great war that Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handedly with Nag and Nagaina in the bathroom and garden of the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment. And what a story it is...one of my favorites!
I would love for you to once again practice using the strategy Somebody Wanted But So to write me a short summary of the story. You might want to write out your SWBS statements beforehand and then put them together into a summary before you attempt to post on the blog...just a suggestion! Remember to first put your summary into an Appleworks or Word document, be sure to save, then copy and paste it into the comment window on the blog.
I will write to you tomorrow and send you some new pictures. I have a brand new cast! Wait til you see it!
Mrs. H

Dear, Mrs. Halterman. I will tell you something about rikki tikki tavi. Rikki tikki tavi was a yong mongoose that was found. By a boy named teddy. The family took really good care of him. Cause they keep them from the snakes. But it didn’t really help because the snakes found out about rikki tikki tavi. And tried killing him but it didn’t work because rikki knew everything cause he always staid in there business. So he new when they were coming and when they weren’t. So rikki was pretty pretected. But at the end of the resolution rikki got the best of nag the snake and killed him. I really miss you so much please come back.8)

I was so pleased with how well you all wrote your summaries of the great story "Rikki-tikki-tavi." I'm impressed with how quickly you learned the SWBS skill and applied it to the task assigned.
I certainly miss all of your lovely little smiling faces. Hopefully it won't be long before I can return as your teacher. In the meantime, you are in excellent hands!
