Instructional Ideas

  • Use this as a first step in the book report process; kids can then put together the sentences into summary paragraphs and draw pictures to go along with their reports
  • Have kids fill out this organizer to show they have been completing their independent reading
  • Complete this as a class for a novel or story you have read together

Classroom Considerations

  • Some learners will need additional scaffolding, such as sentence frames, to fill out each section with complete sentences
  • This is a fairly basic resource that might best be used to prepare learners for a more involved report or project

Pros

  • The organizer can be used with any fictional text

Cons

  • None
