Beth Dichter's insight:
ReadWriteThink provides templates for a variety of writing projects that incorporate a cube. The Bio Cube may be used after students have read, or before they write, a biography (or autobiography). The Mystery Cube will help them recall a mystery story after they have read it, or to pre-write one on their own. There is also a story Cube that will help them map out "key elements of a story" and there is Create-Your-Own Cube...you select the questions to a topic and then respons.

LITERACY. This would be an interesting tool to explore to see if it is useful at our upper year levels. |
Michael Gorman shares 15 tools located at ReadWriteThink that work with Language Art classes, providing short descriptions. An additional 42 tools that are available on the website that focus on Language Arts (although some of them would work with other courses, such as the Timeline, Venn Diagram, K-W-L Chart, and ReadWriteThink Webbing Tool, so teachers across the curriculum may want to also check them out.
