The annotations helped my students to answer the questions. The coloring page gave early finisher something to work on and was a way to for them self-assess the answers to the questions.

This was a great no-prep lesson that helped to re-enforce the ideas of annotating text, and finding evidence in the text. I found that it was a bit better for that purpose. I added some review discussion after the reading to make it feel a little more comprehensive.
