Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pros

  • Since the PDF is editable, you have the option to type a teacher's copy or require pupils to type in their work either at home or at school
  • While basic, the graphic organizer would be useful for a wide range of ages and assignments

Cons

  • There are only six boxes for events, so, depending on the complexity of the story in question, you might run out of space quickly
