Common Core Organizers - Think Visually

The Common Core is here.  I am not worried about it.  Luckily, I teach in a school where the students come to school prepared to learn.  I do worry about the level of abstract thinking, and if it is age appropriate.  We'll see.  In the meantime, I am trying to make graphic organizers that will help my students break down tasks.   These organizers help students to put down the information needed, including evidence from the text, into an organized and understandable form.  Use if you can!  Free download at my TpT store or by clicking the images.  They aren't fancy - I find too many cartoonish graphics can be distracting. I did add a bit of color coding to help students see what goes where. They can be used in LA and also in social studies and science.  I hope you will find them useful.
