What educators are saying

This resource was perfect to follow up reading a fiction book with lions. I loved how there were different sections about the lion plus interesting facts woven throughout. The layout of the graphic organizer was consistent with the layout of the article and very user friendly for my students.
Used this resource in my 2nd grade classroom while doing animal research projects. Students loved the article and the pictures!

Description

This Lions Informational Article and Comprehension Activities includes an article about the lion in two formats (two-page color photos & one-page text), website resources for online articles and videos about the lion, a fact sort sheet where students can sort facts about the lion, a variety of note-taking sheets, comprehension activities, and mini-report pages.

Use these articles as a resource when researching and writing about animals. Read the article, look at a variety of web sites, and watch a couple of videos to gather all our facts about the animal. Once students have the facts, sort the facts into categories and then write a research report.

This article works well with my Informational Writing Tools packet that scaffolds expository or informational writing about animals from researching facts to writing paragraphs.

See this blog post for more information about how I use this resource to teach informational writing.

Included in this Lion resource are:

  • Vocabulary Cards with key terms from the reading passage
  • Vocabulary Activities - matching with and without photos & Frayer Model
  • Informational Article in two formats (with and without photos)
  • Websites for additional research: QR Codes & Google Site
  • Graphic Organizers for note-taking
  • Comprehension Activities such as short answer and cloze reading
  • Fact Sort for students can organize the facts
  • Summary Page
  • Writing Pages for a mini-report
