China's Three Gorges Dam

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A very well-done resource includes an informational reading passage describing the controversy and impact of China's Three Gorges Dam. It also includes eight guided reading questions, a pros/cons arguments chart, and a creative writing prompt. This would be great for homework.
