DeWitt's Doodlebugs

This graphic organizer is perfect for introducing story elements & developing retell strategies. It also serves as an effective tool for comprehension checks and can provide accountability in reading/listening centers. After reading or listening to a story, students identify the main idea, character & setting, and sequence the events. This is easily differentiated by allowing students to draw or write their understanding. The organizer can be completed small bits at a time or all at once.
