My favorite standard to teach is comparing and contrasting. I especially love the various gingerbread books as it gets close to winter break! I have created a packet that includes various general and book specific comparing and contrasting organizers, story maps, a retelling page, character analysis pages, and a couple writing prompts. This is the perfect packet for a mini-unit on the gingerbread books or for sub planning in a pinch! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gingerbread-Books-Set-1601912
