cheyennewilliams UDL strategy 3.2: highlight patterns, critical figures, big ideas, and relationships. Throughout the activity, and throughout the entire book as well, teachers should make sure to emphasize the central message of each myth, how all of the characters are related, and patterns among the characters and the plots. A story map can be a great visual way to do this with students. 7y
cheyennewilliams EL strategy 7: show students how to use graphic organizers like semantic mapping and imaging. Teachers should walk students through the process of how to complete their story map, a type of graphic organizer. Teachers could also provide students with a completed example so that they understand what is expected of them and their map. These maps will help students to visually organize important information from the story. (edited) 7y
