6th Grade Informational Text Assessment (by date, oldest first)

Gas Laws: Charles Law Science.

Grades 6-9

Includes: 5 pages of reading with pictures and a video link

Includes 3 pages of reading compression text and 15 self grading questions.

For Grades 6-8

This is the English version. Looking for the French version? It's right here!

This 16-page resource will provide you with 4 separate texts, each about a dangerous winter sport :

• Bobsleigh,
• Aerial-Freestyle Skiing,
• Skeleton Luge and
• Snowboarding.

Each text is two full pages and each is accompanied by 4 in-depth questions as well as an answer key.

These texts can be used to model reading or writing skills, for informative and descriptive writing, or to use during a guided reading or shared reading with your students. They could be used as an assessment of comprehension. They could easily be assigned to a substitute teacher. I love using these readings around Canada Games, Winter Games or Olympics.

As with all of my documents, I cater to a strictly middle-school crowd, and you'll not find frilly, kiddish or immature content (vocabulary, fonts, structure or images). These would be suitable for your students in grades 5-7 (even 4th or 8th), depending on needs and interests.

This Martin Luther King, Jr. "I HAVE A DREAM" product [Suggested Uses, Posters, Discussion Questions, exams/quizzes, Assignments, and more] provides students a chance to experience what happens when we fight for the betterment of everyone. This SPEECH allows students to read and analyze this canonized work about fighting for one's rights. 11th - 12th Graders will love this short work and product. Check it out!

SUMMARY:

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" Speech before a crowd of some 250,000 people at the 1963 March on Washington, remains one of the most famous speeches in history. Weaving in references to the country’s Founding Fathers and the Bible, King used universal themes to depict the struggles of African Americans before closing with an improvised riff on his dreams of equality. The eloquent speech was immediately recognized as a highlight of the successful protest, and has endured as one of the signature moments of the civil rights movement.

This 11th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to understand the need for standing up for equality and what you believe is right.
