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
