Five organizers to use with any story. Page 1 is character traits with evidence, page 2 how a character responds to a big event, page 3 the lesson of a fable or folktale, page 4 two versions of one tale, and page 5 a character's point of view beside the student's own.
Model a trait and its evidence from a read-aloud first: "Hen is hardworking. She plants, cuts and bakes the wheat herself." Use page 4 with two versions of one tale, such as two tellings of the Little Red Hen.
Ask your child to describe a character in a book in one word, then to show you the part of the story that proves it.
Graphic organizers to use with any story: character traits with evidence, how a character responds, the lesson of a story, two versions of a tale, and point of view. Students back up what they say about characters with the text, find a story's lesson, and compare two tellings.
