Last week, I shared the top 25 lesson plans on the ReadWriteThink site, based on your mouse clicks. Today I have the most popular student interactives on the ReadWriteThink site.

In case you’re unfamiliar, interactives are web-based tools that students can use to learn about language, to organize, summarize, and analyze, or to write and print poetry or prose. These tools span all grade levels—from word play games for kindergartners to graphic organizers for high school students.

Here’s the official list, based on web hits, of the interactives that were used by the most students and teachers during 2011. Visit the pages for related lesson plans and other resources that will help you try out these tools in your own classroom:
