What are graphic organizers?
• Graphic organizers help students construct meaning.
• They can be used with any book and across all grade levels.
• Use them to assess your students’ understanding of what they are reading, and observe their thinking processes.

What are anchor charts?
• Anchor charts are instructional tools displayed in the classroom for students to reference.
• They provide information to support a lesson the teacher has taught or to remind students of routines and expectations .
• Anchor charts are typically created on chart paper or an interactive white board and both the teacher and students may assume responsibility for recording the ideas the class generates.

The Day the Crayons QuitAuthor: Drew Daywalt Illustrator: Oliver Jeffers Publication Release: 27 June 2013 from the publisher Philomel
ISBN: 9780399255373 [Pages: 40] About the Book [Humor]: Crayons have feelings, too! Poor
Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?
