Instructional Ideas

• Use in a reading warm-up or as homework
• Have kids write their own passages about amazing animals, leaving out important words and including context clues for their peers to decipher

Classroom Considerations

• Picture is in color, but you should be able to print successfully in black-and-white

Pros

• You could use the worksheet in any lesson that focuses on context clues

Cons

• Passage is confusing; the moose does not actually ride a bike, though the title and second part of the story imply that it does
• Some blanks are more difficult to fill in than others, and some sentences have several blank spaces in a row
