ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Library, Strategies, Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Science, Earth Sciences, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities
Extreme Environments: Integrated Middle School Science and ELA Debate Activity This assignment is a great way to integrate earth science learning and the English language arts skills of speaking and listening. Students think of relevant reasons for and against humans exploring extreme environments such as the desert, space, and the deep ocean. How to Use: You can split your class into “for” and “against” before they brainstorm and research or afterwards (depending on if you want them to gather information for both sides or not). Then, you can have an informal class debate/discussion with students from each side presenting ideas and rebuttals. Finally, students sum up their personal thoughts in a paragraph. Will they side with what they presented, or will they be swayed by the other side's points? Student Instructions: Extreme environments like the deep ocean, space, volcanoes, and the arctic are full of wonderful sights and discoveries. However, there are downsides to allowing humans to explore these locations. Brainstorm and research reasons for and against allowing human exploration in extreme environments. Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for students in the middle grades (5-8) who are studying extreme environments or space in earth science or science class. It could also be used in English class to target speaking and listening learning standards. Finally, it could be used in high school special education classrooms as well. What's Included: 3 Page PDF that is ready to print! 1) Title Page and Teacher Instructions 2) Graphic Organizer for Note Taking and Research 3) Paragraph Response Prompt If you enjoy this extreme environment lesson, check out some others in my store: Grace Under Pressure Extreme Environments Technology Design and Persuasive Presentation Extreme Environments Reading Comprehension and Triple Venn Diagram How Do Astronauts Meets Their Needs in Outer Space?

This Guided Reading Book - Bridges Strong and Safe (Level H) includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: Bridges: Strong and Safe Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Science (Engineering) Primary Topic: Bridge types, parts, and forces that affect bridges Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): H What This Book Teaches Best Explains what bridges do: connect two places and help people and vehicles cross obstacles. Introduces several bridge types and what makes each one work (beam, arch, suspension, truss). Teaches key bridge parts and supports (deck, abutments, piers) using clear definitions in context. Builds science/engineering understanding of forces that act on bridges (gravity, tension, compression). Shows that scientists and engineers work together to keep bridges safe. Learning Goals Students will explain how bridges help people, cars, and trains travel using text details. Students will identify and describe at least two types of bridges named in the book. Students will use the book’s words to tell what a bridge deck is and what it does. Students will describe how gravity, tension, and compression affect bridges, based on the text. Students will explain what piers do and why they must be deep and steady. Key Vocabulary From the Text deck — the flat top part of a bridge. abutments — the ends an arch bridge pushes against. tension — a pulling force that stretches materials. compression — a pushing or squeezing force. piers — supports that go into ground or water. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: How do you think bridges help people get from one place to another? Comprehension questions: What do bridges help cars, trains, and people do? What is the flat top of a beam bridge called? What do piers keep a bridge from doing when wind blows or water flows fast? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.
