For non-fiction I use a wide variety of organizers from sequencing, cause and effect, main idea and supporting detail are a few. But the one I’ve attached is an analogy chart that would work great comparing and contrasting non-fiction concepts for example “cycles” such as a life cycle and the water cycle.
Character maps are great for fiction. I’ve had book groups pick a character to explore and then share their ideas throughout the story. My example is in word and can be manipulated, because I think the boxes are to small. A journal could also be used with the web titles. In fact, as the school year moves along, I draw the organizer on my chart paper and the students use their journals. Saves paper.
The poetry tree organizer would be used to record poetic devices. While immersed in poetry reading this organizer could be used later for ideas in writing. This can also be manipulated to record specific devices such as simile or color words. I’ve also included a senses chart. This can be used in narrative writing as well.
The last attachment "Graphic Organizers for Reading" is 36 pages of various organizers. They are pdf so they cannot be manipulated, however, there are some great organizers for complex reading strategies.
