These readings are great for independent reading for my grade-level and upper-level readers. The articles address CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.1 (Citing specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.) and CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.10 (By the end of grade 8, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 6-8 text complexity band independently and proficiently.). The leveled questions allow you to subtly assign the questions to different ability students working in a group. Topics are relevant to the students and current. Graphics draw the students into the article. I'm going to have one printed and waiting in for my substitute folder too! THANKS!" "Thanks for putting together a wonderful resource." "I teach Special Education high school science in Maryland in a special school for children with learning disabilities/Autism. I liked the readings and I think students could relate to the topics. I know these are too high a reading level for most of my students and I would read it out loud and highlight the important information together. I would not be able to use the higher-order thinking questions (which I like) with these kids. For my high students (very few of these in my school :), I really like these especially how you noted where you got the information which if they were inclined, they could go back to the original source. I like that you have scaffolded the questions and I would only be able to use these with a handful of students, but I think in a regular high school classroom (I spent many years in regular ed) these are spot on. Thank you for sharing." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each summary is rich with age-appropriate content (grades 5-7) and is 1-3 pages long (13-font). Following each are 5-8 questions along with the answer key, which will help guide your students understanding. The questions include information-based questions straight from the article as well as more open-ended thinking questions that provide an extension for learning. How this product will help your students: Improve their scientific and disciplinary literacy skills Improve their reading comprehension and scientific knowledge Give them insights into important scientific concepts Provide an extension activity for your faster moving/more gifted students How this product will help you: Allow you to meet the NGSS, TEKS and Common Core Standards Provide you with a concise introduction to your topic Provide you with an engaging and easy-to-leave substitute plan which will keep your students engaged and on task Provide you a means of measuring your students' literacy skills We don't spend enough time teaching scientific literacy to our students. This is either because we don't have the resources to do so effectively or we don't have the time. However, teaching our students to become scientifically literate is vital if we want them to succeed in life. We need them to know about the world they live in and about the issues they face.
