Ideas for integration: -katie's book for "just right books"....the students each took pictures of what it looks like when you choose a just right reading book & talked about what elements constitute a just right book....so the students created a comic life book (printed off comic life documents & bound into a book) to use as a reference for the rest of the year -independent activities....create a menu of students doing different meaningful activities, of which they choose from during independent work time -storyboarding for writing activities - print off a template from comic life, use as a storyboard/planning organizer for writing; students can transfer their storyboard into comic life and print off during computer work time or with a classroom volunteer -How-To Writing!!! (Thanks to the person who shared this idea from our conference!)
