Check out this awesome method to increase comprehension, close reading and critical thinking of students. The intention of the ABC brainstorm template is to be used with a broad topic to activate prior knowledge, to be used as a supplement to a reading as key words are pulled out, or to be used as a tracker with learning. Students will write a word or phrase starting with each letter of the alphabet and then complete a summary sentence after all (or most) letters are filled in. The activity is meant to start with the specific topic that is applicable to the student which gets filled in at the top.

Three different variations are included that provide a variety of spacing options for easy differentiation
