- Three original stories about superheroes
- A graphic organizer for easy note taking to assist in recall
- A board game to use with any dice/spinner and game pawns
- Comprehension task cards to assess recall and comprehension that can be used with all 3 stories
- A fun worksheet that promotes creativity
I provided a graphic organizer that can be used as a worksheet or you can add it to a file folder that you use for your board game. This way students can work together to fill it out using dry erase markers. A benefit of keeping it with the board game is that it reminds students to look at their notes to help with recall.
You can choose to use my idea of gluing and laminating the board game onto a file folder or laminate separately. Up to you! You can also laminate with the story itself. Students can draw a task card, respond using learned strategies, then they can spin or roll dice to move along game board.
Last but not least, one way to assess true understanding is to apply knowledge. Therefore, I created a worksheet that makes students think and respond. They must decide which superpower they would like and why. You can create a list using a dry erase board of all the different types of superpowers. You can encourage students to make pro-con charts to help them decide which one they would prefer. Can they support their responses? Let the creativity flow! Then students work share their work which encourages turn taking and verbal expression.
