Three digital and printable graphic organizers will help your students boost their comprehension when it comes to reading and listening!
What's Included?
Guided Notes Graphic Organizer

Book Sequence and Inference
Why do you need this?
Your students struggle to pay attention when reading or listening. They are wigglers who need something to keep them active in a positive way that encourages their learning. They have a hard time knowing what is important about a topic or a book, and they need specific prompts to know what to write and where to write it.
How can I help?

Author's Purpose Project - Creating an AD to Persuade
By A Teachers Sidekick
This is an integrated project that focuses on the Persuade portion of Author's Purpose. I integrated this project with my science unit (Human Impacts on the earth) and my social studies unit (How people can help our planet). Students were tasked with creating an ad to persuade their audience to help with a world problem (Deforestation, Pollution, etc).
All of the graphic organizers we used, PowerPoints with ads and videos of world problems, and the checklist for the ad is included in this product. The students get to explore ads already created and review them. Then they research some of the world problems. After this they are placed in groups and then using a random wheel, are given a world problem. They then identify the impacts of the problem and come up with some solutions. Then they begin to plan their ad and once approved by their teacher, they began creating their ad!
In my classroom, my students wanted to try and create commercials. So we used the Canva app (usually free for educators) and the students worked together to create their commercials.
I hope this product is useful and gets your students engaged. Please rate and review.

By A Teachers Sidekick
This is a watch along to go with Disney and Pixar's Finding Dory. The students will describe 4 characters using adjectives, analyze how Dory's character trait impacts the story, and how Hank's character impacts other characters in the story.
This is a great activity to help keep students engaged and focused as you watch the movie!
I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.
ELA/STEAM Activity for How to Catch a Snowman
By A Teachers Sidekick
How to Catch a Snowman by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton, is a fictional winter story about kids trying to catch a clever snowman. The book lends itself to many ways to integrate STEAM, ELA, Math, and even Science activities to accompany the book. In this product, there are activities centered around STEAM, and ELA. You will need to get some supplies for students to build for the STEAM part and you can either build (or buy) a snowman yourself for the kids to try to trap or have them build one. (I would recommend things like bathroom paper tubes, pipe cleaners, and things like that).
Students will first read the book as a whole class and then focus on some story elements from the story. Once they have completed that, they will begin creating a plan to catch the snowman! (I would recommend having the students in groups). Then once students have completed their plan, they can then begin building their trap to catch the snowman. They will then test it and once they test it, they will complete the form that has them reflect on their build.
I always begin the activities the week before Christmas break as a way to help keep students engaged during the crazy week as they get ready for Christmas. I then return to the book when we get back from break to help refocus my students into the routine of school. I hope you enjoy these activities.

I don’t know about you, but I love having options! Because of that, I have worked to provide different leveled newspaper templates. These could easily be combined into a multipage newsletter booklet if you so choose, or it could remain as a single page assignment. I also tried to make it so that you could have a “front page” and a content page if you printed front and back. Whichever level your students are in, I think that there is a little something in here for everyone!
