Reading offers so many opportunities for different activities and diverse strategies to be used. I always begin a story with vocabulary, where the students decipher the meanings from finding the word in the story, and then together, using the sentence, we decide on a meaning and synonym together. They then create an organizer to show each vocabulary word, synonym, picture and sentence using the word. At the end of the story, before we take a test, I like to do a culminating project that shows their knowledge of the story. For this particular story, The Rajah's Rice, we made an organizer that showed the setting, main characters, the lesson learned, and the main points from the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
