This year our district adopted the new Common Core Standards.  We have gone through the process of unpacking them and we are implementing them.  As a way to assess my students on the common core standards (we are moving to standards-based report cards), I developed these response sheets.  These graphic organizers were developed and aligned with 4^th grade ELA Common Core Standards, but they are suitable for 3^rd grade and 5^th grade students as well.  They are also wonderful for those that implement Daily 5 or Reader’s Workshop in their classroom.  In this packet you will find the following graphic organizers.  There are 45 graphic organizers in all.
