Literature Anchor Charts

Last Monday, I posted Informational text anchor charts. Today's post is all about literature anchor charts. Some are from Pinterest, some are from my textbook, & some are a combo.

Excuse all the wrinkles! The laminator did not like my chart paper!! 

This was taken from our textbook.

My students really struggle with theme. I'm hoping these charts may help! 

This information is from the book, except for the PNTO beans acronym. I knew the kids needed some way to remember these 4 items, so I kept saying the first 4 letters aloud... and pinto came out. PNTO beans was born. If anything, maybe it'll bring a little laughter! 

This is another tough concept for students. I'm looking forward to introducing these questions; I think they'll help! 

oh, man. I am not an artist. I laughed a lot making this, especially when I was making the duck. It started out as a rabbit... 

Again... not an artist ;) 

I use these with Whole Brain Teaching (putting motions to the words, aka mirrors & words), and it's really helped! 

Testing strategy anchor charts & how I store my charts coming next Monday, 9/7! Hope these have given you some ideas! Happy chart making :)

Informational Text Anchor Charts

Over the past few years of teaching, I have seen how having a visual of what you're teaching can really impact the student's understanding. So this summer I decided to make anchor charts that follow my curriculum. I also made an anchor chart wall in my classroom. Here are the informational text anchor charts I made based off the Common Core & my Holt Mcdougall curriculum: 

This is multiple charts I found on Pinterest put together.

To make this one, I took the information from our textbook and added its from another chart I found on Pinterest. That's something I love about teaching- you can find great resources & combine it to make what's perfect for your classroom! 

I wanted them to be simple & clean yet intriguing. 

This strand (strand 3) can be very difficult for students to understand. Hopefully this chart will help them understand how event/ideas/people can effect each other. 

Literature charts coming 8/31!
