Instructional Ideas

• Attach to a homework packet or reading assessment
• Incorporate into a unit that focuses on teamwork, or with a science lesson about wolf packs and other animal families

Classroom Considerations

• Picture on the resource is in color, but printing in black and white shouldn't cause problems
• Provide more space for learners to write their responses to the reading
• Doesn't come with an answer key, but most answers vary depending on student responses anyway

Pros

• Comprehension questions address setting, characterization, and other elements of plot
• Adapts well to Common Core standards for literature

Cons

• None
