Instructional Ideas

• Have readers circle the opinion in the last paragraph
• Direct learnes to highlight answers within the text to support the answers they write

Classroom Considerations

• Best used to supplement a science lesson on marine life
• Print both pages one a single sheet, front to back to save paper
• Although there is not an answer key, one can be made quickly

Pros

• Two of the questions ask individuals to support their responses with evidence from the text

Cons

• Does not provide lines for second graders to write their answers
