Recent feedback on the resources in this bundle:
"The unique structure of this task is engaging for students. Thank you!"
"These were so fun for my kids at the end of the year!"
"Another wonderful resource! Great close reading activities with a summer theme. Each passage is short and manageable for students. My students enjoy going back into each passage to find and highlight the three pieces of information requested. There are questions that also make the students give their opinions and support them. Each article has a different response activity that includes a graphic organizer. I especially like the culminating activity that ties all three articles together. My students struggle with ELA in general and the culmination activity reduces the writing involved and elevates the engagement for students. This resource is very easy for teachers to use - just print and go! Thanks!"
