This is a perfect addition to any literacy or writer's workshop unit. Have your students read a story of their choosing on their own level. Then they complete the template by drawing and writing about the problem and solution. Extend this activity by having students discuss or write about other possible solutions.

I've been teaching for 13 years in Elementary Education. I taught for 9 years in a parent participation charter school in Watsonville, California; grades K-4. I loved the experience of working in a farm community with such a diverse group of children. I've been teaching 2nd grade for two years in the urban and equally diverse area of Hoboken, NJ.
