Welcome to the Creative Classroom Core Community! I
hope you are able to make great use of these graphic
organizers!

The novel study can be the backbone of the middle

school ELA curriculum. Exposure to well chosen and
engaging texts is crucial to student reading success.
These important books help students practice deep
thinking and reading comprehension strategies.

These organizers have been designed to use alongside

ANY novel study. They make a great supplement to a
novel study you are already working on or can be used
on their own to compliment a novel of your choice.
They also make great early finisher activities or
Interactive Notebook additions!
