Instructional Ideas
- Connect to a science class when discussing the scientific method
- Use as an introduction to a unit on making inferences in literature or informational text
Classroom Considerations
- Many words and phrases require clarification for struggling readers and English learners, including the lady of the house and like a greedy boy
Pros
- Two-page format makes for easy copying and distribution of a double-sided worksheet
Cons
- The passage is written in a way that would be difficult for many learners to understand on their own; use the activity as a class reading to model comprehension skills and discuss making inferences, rather than an independent assignment
