Why is Russia invading Ukraine? Reading Comprehension Worksheet

Russia invades Ukraine 2022 Worksheet and Lesson Plan. I'm sure you're as shocked as me by the footage coming out of Ukraine at the moment. I've found it really sad and didn't know where to channel my energy, so I've made this resource and hope to encourage open and frank discussion about the issues. I think we need to be talking about this and discussing it and so I've made this reading comprehension worksheet to try and give a (very) brief explainer of the possible motivations behind the invasion/war.

It's a lesson that I think should take around 45-60 minutes and which would work well in English classes, ESL classes and/or any lesson which looks at world events and politics.

There is a:

• Reading Worksheet

• Warm-up discussions

• Reading Comprehension Questions

• Vocabulary activity

• Debate & discussion

• Summary writing activity

• Full lesson plan

Let's hope there's a stop to this war very soon.

All the best with this lesson and good luck to any Ukrananians in your class or who may be teaching this.
