Graphic+Organizers

1.)

The Moon Phases Foldable I would use this after reading one of the moon books that has the different phases in it and tells about each phase. We would create a flap for each moon phase and students would use yellow construction paper to cut their own moons out. Then students will label each flap. Lastly, students will write definitions inside the flaps. These will be a resource for the students to hold on to and look back at from time to time to help them remember the different phases.

2.)

Instead of creating a bat, I thought we could create a rocketship and instead of beginning, middle and end we could put the order of the moon phases with pictures. I like this activity. I could do it with other books and create something other than a bat. I.E. The Three Little Bears and we could cut out a shape of a bear. I could still do the beginning, middle, and end for these activities.

3.)

This would be a good thing to have when teaching students about the different types of writing styles.

4.) This is a graphic organizer that is good for main ideas. I would read a book to the class and have them complete this when they are finished.

5.)

This is a graphic organizer for vocabulary. Every week students can learn about a new vocabulary word and then complete this by the end of the week. Its a great way to help them really understand the word. I think I would also want the students to keep this in a binder so they can flip back through to the words and use them in their writings.

6.) This would be an awesome thing for students to have while they are learning about space. This is a space lapbook. They do several things during a space unit and when they learn something new they create a space for it in the lapbook. This is great for all kinds of units. You could do a plants unit or even a civil war unit and make a lapbook for it.
