Earth Day Bundle!
Save the Bees
Orcas
White Tigers
April 22nd is Earth Day! Earth Day is a big deal for kids. They love to talk about animals and solving the world's problems. What better way to tap into that interest, then with these 3 compare and contrast units?
Are bees really endangered? Are Orcas (killer whales) being treated humanely? Did you know white tigers are not an actual breed of tiger?
This is a bundle of 3 compare and contrast units. Each unit includes 2 nonfiction articles and activities to go with it.
Each article is a different author's point of view. This is great for debate especially on Earth Day. Included are teacher directions, close reading poster, bookmark, nonfiction articles, two column notes, Venn diagram, double bubble map, and a paragraph frame.
