Instructional Ideas

• Support emerging writers by providing sentence frames or starters for each prompt in the graphic organizer
• Invite pupils to get really creative with decorating their final posters
• Hold a gallery walk after learners have completed their paragraph posters

Classroom Considerations

• This is the preparation portion of the project; you will need to oversee transferring the graphic organizer into a paragraph and putting everything together into a poster
• In order for this to work, you will need to have taken photos of students throughout the school year

Pros

• The included graphic organizer is visually appealing and has enough space to write in
• Also comes with teacher instructions and a template that kids can color and glue their photo to

Cons

• There is a minor typo in the directions for the graphic organizer
