Instructional Ideas
- Assign packet to complete as a class, in reading groups, independently, or for an extended homework assignment based on class reading
- Have kids find additional vocabulary words and create more discussion questions based on their reading
Classroom Considerations
- Discussion questions are recall level, and don't access deeper levels of understanding
- Enrichment activities are vague; consider enhancing the lesson with your own craft ideas
Pros
- Comes with great graphic organizers for kids to use throughout their reading, such as a decision diagram and a cause-and-effect chart
Cons
- None
