GIANT HAMBURGER ORGANIZER with tips and reminders for the students at the top of each hamburger part. I have the students write their 3 BIG ideas in the left hand margin. (not on the intro or conclusion) That way when I check their topic sentence, I make sure it matches what their original brainstorm idea was. Notice how I sign off with my initials on each paragraph in the margin before they can move on to the next one? Oh, and I won't even look at it if they forget to indent :) Click on hamburger for freebie!
Your blog is really cute. I love the hamburger organizer. I would have to adapt it for kindergarten but it is really great. I just started blogging and I am now following you.

I LOVE how big you made the organizer. I often find that 11 1/2 by 8 just doesn't cut it, and I have to enlarge everything! Brilliant idea! Thanks for making my life easier.

I started talking to my kids about hamburger writing a couple of weeks ago, and have been looking for a great organizer! (and planning t make one when I have TIME!) My mom even made me an awesome hamburger with all the fixings from felt! We are on the same wavelength :)
