Reading Extension Task

Using a free website from the US for K-12 designed to boost literacy: ReadWorks.
There are many reading resources that are graded which allows for several levels of difficulty for the same topics.
My Favourite ACTIVITY:
Article a day
Website provides ready to use packs or you can select your own articles to offer each day.
1. Students are given/allowed to choose one of the articles from the pack.
2. Read individually or in groups to discuss and help each other with comprehension.
3. Students go to new groups with all the articles represented. Each student takes a turn to describe their article and something interesting they learned.
4. Final activity students record something from the article into their BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE.
As they read more articles this Book of Knowledge grows. Other activities can be created to show case the books and discuss.

Unit Topic: Innovation

Resource: Pencil Case

What to do: Check your pencil case. Identify a tool in the pencil case that has been innovated on the most. Describe how this tool has evolved in the last few years.

For example: I have a white out pen. Previously, we had to use a whitener bottle that had a brush. Now, we can either use the whiteout as a pen or as a tape. It is very useful for editing without scoring something out.
