Thanks to all of you who took the time to respond to my call for help! Great ideas.
The graphic organizer is Vicki Benson's: the top of the page is the 'beginning'- it has an inverted triangle (left angle is character, right angle is setting, bottom angle is the problem). The problem/kickoff is what drives the story and leads to the middle, the events. Just below that point of the triangle is a square where I have put 1. 2. 3. 4. down the left side to remind them that the events are in sequence, and at the bottom of the box are the cohesive ties). Just below the box is a circle, the end/solution. The kids suggested I put a smiley face in the circle because the character is happy that the problem was solved. Make sense? m. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
