    I have used this to help students use the UNWRAP strategy in finding and proving answers. It was a bonus that it is Social Studies based.

  6. Lesikar’s Literacy –

    I teach ELAR and Social Studies. I like to combine subjects as much as possible. These passages worked well for Social Studies and ELAR. I used the questions where students had to write so I could grade them on content, grammar, and text evidence. Thanks!

  7. RetroTeacher –

    My students love social studies, any opportunity I get to incorporate it into my ELA lessons I do. They love these brief nonfiction texts that give them information in a concise way.

  8. Threasa Hallford –

  10. Heather Kim –

    I used this resource with a Korean student who is aiming to go to the U.S for middle school. She needed reading practice, and I thought passages regarding American History would be ideal for her. The passage length and difficulty as well as the multiple choice questions and short answer questions were not too overwhelming for her. Thank you 🙂
