They should write from the omniscient POV: then, each pair will exchange with another pair who must rewrite the summary they receive from the 1st person POV. Students should then rotate and rewrite summaries one more time, shifting to the third person limited POV. ​When complete, return the story summaries to the original student pair allowing them time to read revisions. Pairs should discuss differences between versions, evaluating the effectiveness of each, considering plot features.
