Using the graphic organizer is important for your students to be able to have a visual outline and organize their information. I found it difficult to use because we had so many ideas and sub topics. It was hard to develop and organize so much in such a limited space. With practice I am sure I will be able to do a better job!!!!!

I am really enjoying the course so much. This weeks class with the introduction of the start to finish books was great. Again there are so many options for you as a teacher and the needs of your students. By adjusting the reading and response questions to meet all your students needs is great. Looking forward to learning so much more!!!!!!!
