![Paired Texts [Print & Digital]: Sound and Light Energy - Image 2](https://www.ideasbyjivey.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Slide1-1.jpg)
$4.00
These paired passages, or paired texts, meet the demand for more complex texts that students can use to compare and build knowledge to integrate information and draw conclusions.
The high-interest, rigorous passages in this set are great to stretch your 3rd and 4th graders, and still appropriate for many 5th graders as well. Two levels are provided: on grade level for 3-4 and on grade level for 4-5.
I have included printable AND Google App formats of the passages along with the multiple-choice and constructed response questions. There are seven multiple-choice questions (each question assessing a different standard) and one constructed response/essay question for the pair.
The printable passages are provided in two styles: article (two column) as well as full page.

This set contains ONE PAIR (two passages) about light energy and sound energy so that students can compare the two forms of energy.

INFO ABOUT THE DIGITAL FILES:
The assessments are provided in Google FORMS. The multiple-choice options will be shuffled for each student, and the items will be automatically scored.
The passages are provided in Google SLIDES and can be annotated by adding text boxes. Students could use lines to underline or draw arrows with the line tool. I have also inserted a “highlight box” on the title of each passage. Show students how to select the box, then copy and paste it to use for highlighting purposes in the text. They can resize the box by dragging the corners to highlight only what they need.
You could allow the students to use their annotated passages for their assessments by having them share the screen (or “split screen”) for both files. I have also included the passages at the top of the assessments.
