Description
This Tornadoes 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: Fujita Scale, Tornado Alley, types of tornadoes, tornado warnings and watches.
Students complete a “before reading” anticipation guide, read about Tornadoes, 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 activity is put together in such a great way! It helped reinforce what we have learned about storms in class as well as allowed me to assess their understanding in different ways, such as with the anticipation guide. It worked great with struggling students as well as more independent students.
