*Complete answer keys* are included for each page with the CCSS listed next to each question. Short response questions include an answer key of model responses. I hope you and your students enjoy this seasonal way to incorporate the standards by using this nonfiction text about plants!
Use this product as a whole group teaching tool, homework, small group activity, or as a center for students who have had experience with answering questions using claims and text details.
Although I created this product to use with my 4th graders, it can be used in grades 4-6 when keeping the CCSS of varying text complexity in mind.
