__**Graphic Organizers**__ Graphic organizers help students to organize their thoughts and ideas on paper. These are a few of the graphic organizers I have found students enjoy using on a regular basis.
 * Venn Diagram - This organizer helps to compare and contrast two topics that are being covered in class. Similarities are put in the part of the organizer where the two circles overlap. Differences are put in the outer part of the corresponding circle. []
 * Story Map - A story map helps to keep track of the basic story line in a book. It can be helpful when writing a summary, and this one allows a space for the reader's conclusions. []
 * Word Chart - A word chart gives in-depth information about a new word, or a word being studied. This graphic organizer allows students to make personal connections with a word, which can lead to better understanding. [| http://www.educationoasis.com/curriculum/GO/GO_pdf/word_chart_cc.pdf]

__**Translator**__
 * This is my favorite translator site to use! You can choose which language you are typing in, and which language you wish to translate it to. The website is easy to navigate with a simple format. It also allows you to listen to words you have translated, so you know how to properly pronounce them. [|http://translate.google.com/#en|es|]

__**Multicultural Books Online**__
 * This is an awesome site that has tons of books online. Once you become a member (it is free) you can read books on your computer! All of the books are multicultural, and come in all different languages. Make sure to check out this site! []
