Summer Activities 9--Get more out of fiction

Want to get more out of the stories you read? (Or write!) Here are some great graphic organizers to help you get more out of the book you are reading. Try reading a book with a parent or a friend and talk about the book together using these graphic organizers. (I especially like the character trading cards!)

Character Trading Cards--How well do you know your character? Use these trading cards to find out more.

Is your character more comfortable in a comic book? Use this comic creator to find out.

Is your character a classic hero? Use this link to explore the journey that every hero takes, in one way or another.

Use this story map to help you keep track of all the major elements of your story. This is really helpful when you are writing and you want to make sure everything you need is there!

Have fun with fiction!
