This large Earthquake Bundle contains a wide variety of resources needed to teach a rigorous unit on Earthquakes. It includes CLOSE Reading nonfiction passages to help teach your students about earthquakes (not familiar with CLOSE reading? It’s okay, we have instructions and anchor charts to help you incorporate it into your teaching). There are text dependent questions aligned with each passage, a set of vocabulary cards with definitions to accompany the passages, An Earthquake Research Report, and much, much more. A variety of other graphic organizers and activities are included as well. We do encourage you to supplement with any other books, videos, and websites that you already use; they will blend nicely with our CLOSE reading passages. You can use this unit in its entirety, or “pick and choose” the components to meet the needs of your students.
