Instructional Ideas
- Include in a homework packet or literacy lesson
- Have youngsters write a short narrative essay about something amazing that their pets can do, or their own experience with an earthquake
Classroom Considerations
- Model the way you want kids to answer the first question; show them how to either quote from the text, or to summarize information that they have found
- Pictures are in color, but printing in black and white shouldn't affect understanding
- Clarify that L.W. is the name of a dog, particularly for beginning readers
Pros
- Prompts individuals to think about the kind of text they are reading, as one question asks about the source of each passage
Cons
- Does not include an answer key
