Students create an interactive story map using a large piece of paper divided into sections for characters, setting, problem, and solution. Students work in pairs to fill in each section with drawings and labels. For younger grades (K-2), provide simple templates with pictures to guide them. For older grades (3-8), include additional elements like theme and plot development.

Materials needed:
- Large paper
- Markers/colored pencils
- Story elements template

Create a word family tree where students explore related words and their meanings. Start with a base word in the trunk, and branches show different forms (noun, verb, adjective, adverb). Leaves can contain example sentences. Differentiate by grade level - K-2 focus on simple word families, while grades 3-8 explore more complex vocabulary relationships and academic terms.

Materials needed:
- Tree template
- Sticky notes
- Word cards

Using a butterfly-shaped graphic organizer, students compare and contrast two characters, stories, or concepts. The body represents similarities, while the wings show differences. Make it interactive by having students use different colors for each wing and add illustrations. K-2 can compare basic story elements, while grades 3-8 can analyze more complex literary elements.

Materials needed:
- Butterfly template
- Colored markers
- Comparison prompts

Create a chain-link graphic organizer where each link represents a step in a process or event in a story. Students can physically manipulate paper chains to show sequence. For K-2, use 3-4 links with pictures and simple sentences. For grades 3-8, extend to more complex sequences and include transition words.

Materials needed:
- Paper strips
- Stapler
- Sequence cards

Design a sunburst graphic organizer with the main idea in the center circle and supporting details on the rays. Make it interactive by using fold-out flaps for each ray. K-2 students can work with simple texts and picture clues, while grades 3-8 can analyze more complex texts and add evidence for each supporting detail.

Materials needed:
- Circle templates
- Colored paper
- Reading passages

Create domino-shaped cards where one side shows a cause and the other shows an effect. Students arrange the dominos to show relationships between events. K-2 students work with simple, concrete relationships, while grades 3-8 explore more abstract connections and multiple causes/effects.

Materials needed:
- Domino templates
- Event cards
- Connection arrows

Design an interactive character web where students identify and provide evidence for character traits. The center contains the character's name, and extending circles show traits with supporting evidence. K-2 focus on basic emotions and actions, while grades 3-8 explore complex personality traits and character development.

Materials needed:
- Web template
- Character cards
- Evidence strips

Create a three-dimensional plot mountain where students can place story events on different parts of the mountain (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution). Make it interactive with moveable cards that can be repositioned. K-2 use simple story structures, while grades 3-8 analyze more complex plot elements.

Materials needed:
- Mountain template
- Event cards
- Sticky tabs

Design a cube where each face represents a different type of question (who, what, when, where, why, how). Students roll the cube and create questions about their reading using the prompt shown. K-2 focus on basic comprehension questions, while grades 3-8 develop more analytical and inferential questions.

Materials needed:
- Cube template
- Question prompts
- Reading materials

Create a roadmap-style organizer where students identify elements of different genres. Each 'stop' on the map represents a genre element students must find and explain. K-2 work with basic genres (fiction/nonfiction), while grades 3-8 explore more specific genres and their unique characteristics.

Materials needed:
- Road map template
- Genre cards
- Element markers

Design a detective-themed graphic organizer where students collect and organize text evidence to support their conclusions. Include spaces for claims, evidence, and reasoning. K-2 focus on finding simple text details, while grades 3-8 develop more sophisticated arguments with multiple pieces of evidence.

Materials needed:
- Detective file template
- Evidence cards
- Conclusion sheets
