Instructional Ideas

  • Read the story and assign the worksheet on Earth Day—April 22
  • Attach a sheet of paper to give learners more space to write their responses 
  • Perform a jigsaw activity in which small groups answer one of the five questions then share their work with the class

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires copies—one page per participant 
  • The worksheet is designed to be used after reading The Lorax by Dr. Seuss 

Pros

  • The worksheet's directions are easy to follow 
  • Boosts reading comprehension and knowledge of scientific topics 

Cons

  • Provides limited space for question responses
