Comics Brainstorming and Comprehension!

Dear Students,


Use these link to brainstorm ideas in the form of comics or to show the comprehension to some of the texts we are reading in class.  Save your work or let me know so we can print out your digital work.  Remember that brainstorming in writing is about putting your ideas down on paper and for retelling in reading is about restating in your words what is happening in the text so let have fun doing it by creating a comic strip with them. Enjoy!

Graphic organizers to access when needed

Dear Students,


Look for the organizer  you need to replicate it in  your journal to fill it out with our text we are looking in class or for independent reading to practice tracking your thinking as you read besides expressing your reactions to the text as a reader.


Make sure you select the correct one between fiction and expository (nonfiction) so your organizer information is accurate.   Let the reading force be with you!
