More Story Maps

During Reading Workshop, second graders are continuing to use Story Maps to organize their thinking about stories and to increase their overall comprehension.  Last week, the children worked with their Reading Partners to create Story Maps for an Old Favorite Story. Some of the Old Favorites they read included Froggy Gets Dressed, Miss Nelson is Missing, Chicken Little, The Mitten, Corduroy and The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything. This week, they are working independently to build Story Maps for appropriately leveled texts.  You'll see a completed Story Map in your child's folder at the end of the week. Until then, check out these photos of Reading Workshop:

Here is the Story Map we created based on a
Read Aloud of Click, Clack, Moo by Doreen Cronin.

This is the Story Map we created last week after reading a
non-fiction passage titled
Safer Roads for Animals (www.readingatoz.com).
