PART FOUR: Graphic Organizers
Graphic Organizers help us to do just what their name implies: organize information using a chart,
graph, or picture. In other words, they help us to sort out details so we can figure out what’s important.
Directions: Read the excerpt below from the Scobre Press book The Kid from Courage. After read-
ing, choose a Graphic Organizer below and use it as a model to outline your thoughts about the text
on a separate sheet of paper.
He (Johnny) came from a broken home. He used to cut classes on a regular basis. He
appeared in Juvenile Court twice before his thirteenth birthday. Yet, as sixteen-year-old
tennis prodigy Johnny Matthews capped off an undefeated summer by easily marching
through the Southern California Sectionals last week, people were whispering that he just
might be the future of American tennis.
This likeable youngster stands six feet two inches tall, relying on every inch to unleash his
large cannonball serve. Coupled with fluid, elegant ground strokes, it adds up to a total
package. And don’t let his dynamic personality and impish grin fool you – this kid is fero-
cious on the court, demolishing hapless opponents with merciless precision.

Schedule for Critical Conversations
Scobre suggests the following schedule for critical conversations. Teachers should use these conversa-
tions to monitor student progress, administer feedback, assist students with their goals, and track student
progress on their Class Record Sheet and Teacher Tracker – Reading Progress – Individual Students.
Note: Teachers may initiate discussions with students using the following prompts with the entire class,
small groups, or individual students. The Student Folder, which contains the Reading Response Log
/ Book Tracker, the Student Tracker – Independent Reading, and the Goal Sheet, would provide
useful information for these conversations.

Prediction Guide Directions
Directions for the Teacher:
1. Choose a selection of pages from a particular Scobre Press title to use as a focus.
2. Before class meets, fill in the “STATEMENT” column of the Prediction Guide with your own predic-
tions about the focus text.
3. When class meets, distribute copies of the Prediction Guide that you’ve filled in, and read aloud to
the students one or two pages leading up to the focus text.
4. Ask students to think about what might happen next in the text. Students will assess your state-
ments on the Prediction Guide by writing checks or minuses in the “ME” column to show whether
or not they believe the statements will prove true.
5. When students finish assessing the prediction statements, read aloud or assign the focus text.
6. As students read/listen to the text, they will compare the prediction statements to the text and put
a check or minus in the “AUTHOR” column of the Prediction Guide to show whether the prediction
statements are true.
7. Students then change the incorrect prediction statements to make them agree with the text/author.
SAMPLE STATEMENTS:
