If you have never used Close Reading or even if you are already a pro, this print and go packet truly is for you! It has everything you need for a complete, successful informational text reading unit.

"The Iroquois" reading comprehension passage 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, and I've taken all the guesswork out of differentiating and leveling of the passage for you!

This high-interest packet includes:
• "The Iroquois" Informational Reading Passage (Provided in 2 Levels)
• 5 Close Reading Activities
• End of Unit Culminating Writing Activity
• Guide Sheet
• Annotation Guide
• "Design a Longhouse" Activity Sheet
• Wampum Facts
• Design a Wampum Belt
• Word Search
• Answer Keys

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 the passage, moving from easier tasks to more challenging activities. The reading passage and its corresponding activities offer a full-week's worth of close reading.
