Instructional Ideas
- Have readers create a draft of a timeline for homework and compare their ideas of the plot to their peers'
- Create a large timeline, either electronically or on a bulletin board, that kids can attach important events or ideas to periodically throughout the novel (or when they finish reading)
Classroom Considerations
- Doesn't provide a graphic organizer or worksheet
- You'll need to bulk up the assessment part of the lesson to assess more accurately
Pros
- Provides a basic example readers can use as a model or elaborate
- Encourages learners to synthesize what they read and portray their understanding in a tangible way
Cons
- Beware grammar and usage errors
