First Day Jitters:



http://www.busyteacherscafe.com/literature_guides/firstdayjitters.html (Check out the activity guide at the bottom of the page.)

Story Elements:
*http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/lit-elements/index.html (Interactive story maps that can be used with an passage)
*http://www.learner.org/interactives/story/index.html (I just focus on the skills that are pertinent)
*http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/trading_cards/  (Great for character study! These are super fun to use with kids in a lab setting, so that all students can create.  I group the learners and require a paper copy as a rough draft. ****Special note: The Big Huge Labs site also has a trading card feature that is so cute.)
*http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/bookcover/ (This tool is best in a lab setting, also.  It is bare bones, so it saves on ink when printing.  I have used it to teach story elements-be creative here.)
