Gallery Walk Posters & Graphic Organizer for SOAPSTone Pre-AP Strategy

Get those kids moving! Both HISTORY and ENGLISH classes can use this kinesthetic activity and convenient graphic organizer to analyze an author's purpose, audience, and speaker in non-fiction, informational text, poetry, short stories, novels, and drama. Great as an assessment of comprehension for pre-class readings.

SOAPSTone requires students to think critically to identify textual evidence that supports their analysis of a text's (S)peaker, (O)ccasion, (A)udience, (P)urpose, (S)ubjects, and (T)one.

1 -- SOAPSTone graphic organizer in a collegiate theme

This wonderful acronym was originally invented by the College Board for Pre-AP and AP level analysis on the AP US History, AP English Language and Composition, and AP Literature and Composition exams, but I modified it's characteristics to support my learning objectives and varied student levels as needed. I also expanded its use to include fiction.
