  • Answer Keys

This packet includes these informational, high-interest, close reading passages:

  • Famous April Fool's Pranks (April 1, April Fool's Day)
  • Gutenberg and the Printing Press (April 9, National Library Week)
  • The Start of a Revolution (April 18, Patriot's Day)

The digital version of this packet includes ready-made, visually-appealing Google slides for you to share with your class. It includes interactive drag and drop annotation marks and fillable text dependent activities.

Each of the 5 passages included in this resource is provided in two differentiated levels.

I've taken all the guesswork out of differentiating and leveling of passages for you!

This packet is both rigorous and Common-Core aligned. Questions have been carefully crafted to move readers from basic, recall questions to higher-level questions where students must cite evidence from the text to support their answers. There are 5 tasks/activities for each passage, moving from easier tasks to more challenging activities. Each passage and its corresponding activities offer a full-week's worth of close reading.

As much as I love to see my students self select and independently read, these passages allow us to all be on the same page each week. I use these as a weekly read. They are awesome.
