Instructional Ideas
- Have class members note the sensory language and details they find
- Add to a homework packet for extended practice
Classroom Considerations
- Story seems to be missing an ending; have learners come up with their own
- Calls the baby chicks chickens and children, but not chicks, which may confuse some pupils
- Designed for second graders, but vocabulary and sentence structure may be better suited for older readers
Pros
- Provides ample space for complete sentences and longer responses
- Two-page format makes a good double-sided worksheet
Cons
- Does not include an answer key
