The Scoop on Clothes, Homes, & Daily Life in Colonial America - EngageNY Gr 4

This stand alone resource is a great way for students to read and comprehend the text The Scoop on Clothes, Homes, and Daily Life in Colonial America by Elizabeth Raum. It also goes along well with the Engage NY Grade 4 ELA Module 2A Unit 1 on the topic of Colonial Life - which uses this as a central text. The Engage NY units are famous for NOT being kid friendly. This resource takes the same material and makes the tasks visually appealing and easier to use for both students and teachers! It focuses on one of the major goals of the Engage NY unit - making inferences based on nonfiction texts. The comprehension sheets draw students’ attention to what is explicitly taught in the text, then asks them to make inferences about colonial people and their life based on the information given.

This resource includes:

-Six kid friendly comprehension tasks for the text - one for the introduction and one for each chapter. These tasks focus on explicit responses to support student inferences.
