Something that will stretch their imaginations—something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own. —Katherine Patterson michelle_ricks https://padlet.com/michelle_ricks/wfdv5fmmi0pe/wish/115414178 2016-06-25 00:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_ricks/wfdv5fmmi0pe/wish/115414178 The Common Core michelle_ricks https://padlet.com/michelle_ricks/wfdv5fmmi0pe/wish/115414218 Teaching K-5 Students to Meet the Reading Standards

I have saved it in my files. Great information on your board. I have used many different Graphic organizers to teach main idea and theme. I find that the "searching for a theme" one you posted is great.

I use these all the time in my class! amanda_eastman https://padlet.com/michelle_ricks/wfdv5fmmi0pe/wish/115439570 Honestly, I have never taught reading so I don't have a favorite informational book to teach theme. 
I like using the KWL charts in my class. This allows my students to see what they know and what they learned.
