If you have never used Close Reading or even if you are already a pro, this 75-page bundle truly is for you! It has everything you need for a complete, successful informational text reading unit.
Each of the 5 passages included in this resource is provided in two differentiated levels. One is in the fifth-sixth grade reading range, and the other is in the third-fourth grade reading level range. The level is given for each passage, along with a guide that provides the corresponding grade levels. I've taken all the guesswork out of differentiating and leveling of passages for you!
Includes Five Close Reading Passages:
- Ruby Bridges: Girl of Courage
- Rosa Parks: Taking a Stand
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Jesse Owens: Track Star
- Harriet Tubman: Railroad Conductor
This packet includes:
- 5 Informational Passages (2 Differentiated Levels)
- 5 Days of Close Reading Activities
- Text Dependent Questions
- Written Response
- Teacher Guide Sheet
- Annotation Guide (full page and ½ page)
- Printable B/W Pages (choose from landscape or portrait orientation)
- Color, Interactive Digital Slides for Google Classroom
- Answer Keys
The digital version of each packet includes ready-made, visually-appealing Google slides for you to share with your class. They include interactive drag and drop annotation marks and fillable text dependent activities.
This packet is both rigorous and Common-Core aligned. Questions have been carefully crafted to move readers from basic, recall questions to higher-level questions where students must cite evidence from the text to support their answers. There are 5 tasks/activities for each passage, moving from easier tasks to more challenging activities. Each passage and its corresponding activities offer a full-week's worth of close reading.
