If you have never used Close Reading or even if you are already a pro, this packet truly is for you! It has everything you need for a complete, successful mini unit on Ruby Bridges.

The informational passage on Ruby Bridges is provided in two differentiated reading levels. One is in the fifth-sixth grade reading range, and the other is in the third-fourth grade reading level range. The reading level is given for each passage. I've taken all the guesswork out of differentiating and leveling of passages for you!

This packet includes:

• Ruby Bridges: Girl of Courage Informational Passage (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 this 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 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.
