Description

This nonfiction companion to the Nonfiction K-2 Mentor Sentences Earth Science Unit is set up just like the Emergent Better Than Basal with 40 Mentor Texts with Common Core aligned activities, lesson ideas, graphic organizers, and writing prompts for some of your favorite informational mentor texts to use in grades 1-2! (See the complete list below.)

*****************************************************************************
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
There are eight organizers that can be used with ANY text, and then those organizers have been used with some of my favorite informational texts about Earth Science as well to give you ideas of how to use them. (Answer keys are provided.)

**Please LOOK AT THE PREVIEW to see all that is included!**
Activities cover skills such as:
asking and answering questions about a text
retelling key details
supporting the main idea
describing connections between two animals
determining the meaning of words
using text features
using illustrations to find information
telling author’s purpose with proof
supporting author’s reasoning
compare and contrast texts

There is also a writing prompt for each book that ties to the topic of the book.

Activities are for the following books:

The Magic School Bus Weathers the Storm by Kristin Earhart

Down Comes the Rain by Franklyn M. Branley
