During the Back to School Unit, students will explore various topics about schools here and around the world. Included in this blog are three activities that can be used throughout this unit in whole group, small group, and/or workstations.
EPIC! - Workstation
After reading, both students will complete their own graphic organizer which has them illustrate their favorite part of the story. Partners will share their illustrations by verbally describing their favorite part while their partner listens and records their presentation using the Seesaw app. Click here for a tutorial on Seesaw.
Graphic organizers are a great way for students to record and respond after reading a text. You can use different books or change the graphic organizers in order to practice and assess different comprehension skills and strategies. (ex: compare and contrast, main idea and details etc.) Below are two graphic organizers you can use for this task.

The teacher could read aloud or play the books out loud when technology is not available. To adjust for high flyers students may illustrate their favorite part, as well as, write sentences describing their illustration.
