This is great! I use this in my workstations and for comprehension checks. It does double duty as a great comprehension and social studies activity. I love that it has the students mark where they found answers.

Thank you for such a great resource. This worked well for introducing our new historical fiction novel, and continuing with our history unit.

This was a great resource to supplement what was taught in our textbooks. My students found this text more engaging and helped them better understand each concept.

I used this in my social studies class. Even though we didn’t get through with all of the pages I still made copies and I have them in my sub tub for emergencies. Great easy worksheet for early finishers as well.

I Love this so much I bought it twice for two different units! 🙂
The first time i purchased this activity, I was going to be out and didn’t have a ton of time to change my lessons for a sub. I had intended on teaching lessons included in this activity and this activity prepped my students to be able to learn in when I returned by adding schema! THANK YOU!!
