Note Taking and Summarizing Graphic Organizer

Note Taking and Summarizing Graphic Organizer
, Not Grade Specific,

Note Taking and Summarizing Graphic Organizer divides one page into Notes, Pictures, and Summary sections. Learners can capture key information in words, represent important ideas visually, and then condense the combined material in the summary space. The labeled sequence makes the relationship between gathering information and synthesizing it visible without prescribing a particular text or subject. Each area remains open enough to accommodate different amounts of written and visual information.

Writing to Recount Template

Writing to Recount Template
, Not Grade Specific,

The template begins by helping writers establish when an experience occurred, using several optional sentence starts. Separate prompts gather the location, participants, and main actions before learners arrange events in time order. A bank of connectives supports movement from the first event through later actions and the conclusion. The final prompt asks what happened at the end, giving the recount a defined stopping point rather than leaving it as an unsequenced list.
