Description
This Spanish American War Color by Number and Text Marking activity is the perfect way to bring life to the topic! Students read a non-fiction passage and search for answers while marking evidence from the text. Perfect reading comprehension activity.
Topics include: Theodore Roosevelt, Battle of San Juan Hill, Rough Riders, Battle of Santiago and the Treaty of Paris.
Students complete a “before reading” anticipation guide, read about the Spanish American War, answer questions, mark the text for evidence, color the picture according to their answer, and complete the “after reading” anticipation guide.
This is a great cross curriculum activity that also practices Language Arts skills and citing evidence. You can use this activity to assess prior knowledge. You can use this activity as a unit review. Lastly, you could use the student worksheet as a quiz or formative and then let them color as a reward! You choose what works best for you.
This is a fun, colorful activity that allows students to show mastery while relaxing, learning and coloring in their answers. This is also perfect for emergency sub plans! Hang the finished product in the hall for teachers and students to stop and admire.

This was a perfect way for students to learn and take a break from traditional note taking. They are more engaged, making connections and having some fun while learning. Great resource! Thank you.

I loved how even though I am teaching social studies, the students are getting much needed reading practice through the passage, working on citing text evidence, and on comprehension in using the text evidence in the passage to answer questions related to the passage. Anything I can use to help my students with their reading skills while still teaching them the required material is a HUGE help!

My students love whenever we get to do a color by number activity like this. I have students read together first and then answer the questions and then color. It’s really engaging for my students and it makes them really focus on the reading and it’s a great way to have them practice annotating.
Julie W. –
Color by number is a great way to reinforce information. I also like that the students have to find the information in the passage and mark it some way.
