Teacher Appreciation Jackpot FREEBIE

Today is the big JACKPOT day!  I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to the many teachers that work so very hard each day.  Teaching is a very difficult profession- physically and emotionally on some days.  I feel so blessed to be a part of a virtual community that celebrates our daily successes, invigorates my desire to be a lifelong learner and comforts me on those terrible-no-good- very-bad days!

Thank you for what you do every day!

The item I have picked is my Retelling Independent ReadingResponse Projects! Here is a description of the product:

Included in this packet is a variety of reading response projects for students to complete. All projects revolve around the skill of retelling. A rubric for students and teacher is included with each project. The first two projects are differentiated for difficulty or scaffolding. The projects include:

* A Retelling book- The first project is a book for students to complete that are beginning to learn the skill. Students also make a connection to the text on the last page.
*The second project is the same book retelling project as the first. However, it does not have any sentence starters/prompts or supports for the writing.
* The third project is a Flip Flap book based on the idea of Dinah Zike's graphic organizers/ manipulatives.
*The last project is a graphic organizer. This project has the story elements, an area for a picture and then a section for students to illustrate their favorite part.

Please note that although there are 26 pages to this packet, 2 pages are directions sheets and one is a cover sheet.
