Stacy, It looks good to me. I like your use of the Prezi to present:) I also like the idea of using graphic organizer to reach students that are struggling with reading comprehension. Teacher reflection and rating themselves on how they use these in class is a great way to get them started on the training. The only thing I see is a typo - lol - summarize in third line under purpose... and it looks like you are squeezing a lot into 45 minute just like I am.... this time constraint was hard for me given to goal.
