The images included in this resource can be shared with your students so they can use them in a fun Google App, such as Pic Collage. The students can open an image on their digital device and fill in the graphic organizer. Not only does this method eliminate paper and trips to the photocopy machine, but it is a highly engaging way for students to respond to their reading.

During small or whole group instruction, you can project the colorful graphic organizer on the SMART Board and have students fill in the missing information. Another idea is to have students visit the SMART Board during centers.
