Instructional Ideas

• Project onto the whiteboard for a lesson on Hanukkah
• Print four or five copies of the second page; cut the facts into strips, pass them out to class members, and have them find their group members to present about their assigned element of Hanukkah

Classroom Considerations

• Learners need to read the informational text on the second page before answering the questions on the first page
• Worksheet is in color; print a test sheet in black and white to ensure that text is still visible
• Designed for English learners, but helpful for mainstream classes as well

Pros

• Provides illustrations and definitions for each key term 
• Addresses a variety of language arts skills

Cons

• None
