Article Freebie!

So my big push this year has been non-fiction.  We have done so many non-fiction related activities, stories, and writing to prepare for the big time... third grade!  I wanted to do something this week and next with some left over "National Geographic" magazines that I had... ok admit it.. you have a stack somewhere in your room too.  I decided to combine my love of those magazines with the Literature Circle idea.  I created 4 recording sheets for each group... one on telling the important facts of the article, one for the group to illustrate their favorite parts of the article (or for your advanced students, they can research further on the computer on things they want to learn more about), one page on writing interesting words and defining them, and finally a page on connections and questions they had as they read the article.  I plan to put the kids in groups of 4 and they are to work together to complete the 4 pages as a TEAM.  Once they finish all 4 pages, they are then going to present their pages to the class.  What a fun way to wrap up the year... of course they love to talk in front of an audience! :)

I would like to offer this article activity pack as a freebie to anyone who is or becomes a follower and leaves a comment with your email address below.  This will EXPIRE on Saturday Evening (4/28).  Thanks for reading!
