This is a great "day before the holiday" activity. It is a 9 page document, two pages are background provided for the teacher's introduction. Included is the text of the article "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." Activities included are: 10 reading check questions, 6 vocab words extracted from the article and set in a chart that requires definitions based on context clues and original sentences, 10 higher-order thinking questions, an acrostic requiring the listing of concepts associated with the holiday season, and an "exit ticket" requiring summary of the article. There are 4 graphics including one of the original article and one of the newspaper banner. This is a lovely activity for kids who may have become a bit jaded and too cool for Santa. :} It provides a refreshing perspective on the holiday season. Thank you for your consideration. Enjoy and Merry Christmas.

I've always loved sharing this editorial with students! The comprehension questions, vocabulary, and history were useful in turning it into a more complete, engaging lesson. Thank you for your work!
