About this resource
What's inside this resource
Sometimes you just need a great graphic organizer that students can use over and over again in your classroom, no matter what book you’re reading! Sometimes, we may be in need of something that only highlights a single skill. However, once students have been introduced to multiple skills individually, they may be ready to combine these skills. When your students are ready for this, I have just the resource for you.
This is a Story Map Graphic Organizer. It is a 2-page printable which can be printed front and back or on two separate pages. This story map is great because it can be used for fiction and non-fiction texts.
This was designed for lower elementary students to start putting their knowledge to the test. This graphic organizer will easily allow you to informally assess student comprehension.
The components included are:
-Story Plot (First, Next, Finally)
-Characters Who?
-Setting Where?
-Problem
-Solution
-What was the big idea of the story?
You can choose to print multiple copies of this. You may even choose to print and laminate this, so students can use it over and over again.
I can be contacted for questions and concerns at lisa.riddle50@gmail.com.
