Set 1: Rocks, Minerals, and Volcanoes Non Fiction Task Cards
This task card set of 54 cards addresses many things: non-fiction text features, non-fiction reading, and applying what has been learned. Students read non-fiction passages about rocks, minerals, and volcanoes and use text features to complete task cards. The reading passages are designed to resemble magazine pages with colorful photos, clipart, and sections. The task cards are also color-coded. The task cards include multiple choice answers and open-ended challenges. The cards include: determining the type of non-fiction text feature in the article (these are blue), basic comprehension questions (these are green), and open-ended cards (these are purple). The open-ended tasks use non-fiction text features! Open-ended tasks include: writing sentences; writing paragraphs; creating tables and charts; drawing and labeling; drawing timelines; comparing with charts, tables, or Venn diagrams; creating a mini glossary; and writing descriptions.
For your convenience this package also includes a complete set with limited color. The multiple choice questions are also included in a worksheet format. An answer sheet is included with an answer key.
