This resource contains six non-fiction texts about biomes of the United States. It was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.

It covers the following biomes:

desert

grasslands

tropical rainforest

temperate forest

taiga

tundra

The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and would be useful for upper grades as well. Some passages are shorter than others and have less complex language so that you can easily differentiate for students.

There is a tips sheet for teachers and a recording sheet for students on which they can note where the biome is found, the average annual precipitation, the average temperature, and plants and animals of the biome. Students respond to a question asking if they would like to live and that biome and tell why or why not.

Firstly, there are four close reading activities, or informational texts, about:

• A.A. Milne
• J.K. Rowling
• Roald Dahl

These activities require NO PREP and have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity, crossword puzzle and wordsearch activity for those fast finishers. Answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of each document.

Secondly, there are three biography writing units about the same authors. The units have been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Finally, there is a discussion based writing unit discussing who is the greatest children's author of all time. The unit has been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Good luck, I hope you get some great results!
