This reading comprehension activity also doubles as a mini-writing review using the acronym RAT (the formula for writing short answer constructed responses - RESTATE, ANSWER THE QUESTION, AND TIE IT BACK TO TEXT EVIDENCE).

This activity can be adapted for any age level, although the content in the article may be best suited for Middle School / High School.

I have given credit to the original author / website of the nonfiction article in this activity.
