This volcanoes reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Volcanoes Genre: Nonfiction (Informational text) Subject: Science (Earth Science) Primary Topic: What volcanoes are, how they form, and safety clues Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): P What This Lesson Teaches Best What a volcano is (more than a “mountain”): Explains a volcano as an opening/vent or crack in Earth’s crust where hot melted rock, ash, and gases escape from an underground storage place called a magma chamber. Magma vs. lava: Defines melted rock as magma underground and lava once it reaches open air. How volcanic ash forms and spreads: Describes eruptions that toss bits of magma into the sky, cooling into tiny sharp pieces called volcanic ash that can fall like gritty snow and cover wide areas. Why volcanoes form where they do: Connects volcano locations to Earth’s outer layer being broken into huge moving plates (pulling apart or sliding under another), and also to “hot spots” that can form island chains such as Hawaii. Warning signs and community safety: Notes that rising magma can cause small earthquakes, ground swelling, or changes in gases and heat, and that these clues help communities decide when to close roads or move to safer places. Learning Goals Students will explain what the text says a volcano is and where the material comes from. Students will describe the difference between magma and lava using the passage’s definitions. Students will identify one way volcanic ash forms and describe what it is like when it falls. Students will describe how moving plates and hot spots help explain where volcanoes form. Students will list warning signs in the passage that may happen as magma rises. Students will explain how scientists’ observations can help communities stay safer. Key Vocabulary From the Text crust — Earth’s hard outer layer. magma — melted rock below Earth’s surface. lava — melted rock after it reaches open air. eruptions — times when a volcano sends material out. plates — huge moving pieces of Earth’s outer layer.
