Instructional Ideas

  • Include in a unit on informational text
  • Have kids work on the reading in language arts, and then continue their research and discussion in science
  • Encourage kids to come up with their own questions for peers to answer
  • Use in a reading assessment or homework packet

Classroom Considerations

  • Reading is four pages long, but the paragraphs are double spaced and the font is large
  • Some pictures are in color, but printing in black and white shouldn't affect understanding

Pros

  • Includes an answer key for easy assessment
  • Short-answer questions prompt thoughtful yet concise answers

Cons

  • None
