What educators are saying

Thank you for all of the links. There is one link where they say the word "damn" as they are talking about a spider.

Learning Objective

Students learn about the spider and participate in several notetaking and comprehension activities. Students can also complete a mini-report.

Description

This All About Spiders Informational Article and Comprehension Activities include an article about spiders in two formats (two-page color photos & one-page text), website resources for online articles and videos about spiders, a fact sort sheet where students can sort facts about spiders, a variety of note-taking sheets, comprehension activities, and mini-report pages. This resource is great to build background knowledge for spider writing activities!

Use these articles as a resource when researching and writing about animals. Read the article, look at a variety of websites, and watch a couple of videos to gather all our facts about the animal. Once students have the facts, sort the facts into categories, and then write a research report.

This article works well with my Informational Writing Tools packet that scaffolds expository/informational writing about animals from researching facts to writing paragraphs.

See this blog post for more information about how I use this resource to teach informational writing.

Included in this SPIDER RESEARCH AND WRITING RESOURCE are:

  • Vocabulary Cards with key terms from the reading passage
  • Vocabulary Activities - matching with and without photos & Frayer Model
  • Informational Article in two formats (with and without photos)
  • Websites for additional research: QR Codes & Google Site
  • Graphic Organizers for note-taking
  • Comprehension Activities such as short answer and cloze reading
  • Fact Sort for students can organize the facts
  • Summary Page
  • Writing Pages for a mini-report
  • Google Slides with student sheets include drag-and-drop pieces and text boxes

Some videos are on YouTube. Make sure you can access YouTube at school.
