Informative Text Graphic organizer- Bilingual
I used this graphic organizer since the very first time we started reading informative texts, and it helped my kiddos a ton! After the first couple of weeks they were masters of facts and main ideas!After a while we started using it for their research projects, so they could outline their ideas and then put them together in their reports.
