101 Google Forms close reading passages, or informational texts, with comprehension and grammar questions followed by extension tasks. The Google Forms activities are ideal for distance learning and perfect for students in 3rd grade or 4th grade. The activities also come in PDF format for printing.

Time allowance for each activity:

5-10 minutes - read through the text individually.

40-50 minutes - answer questions using the text as guidance (including extension activity).

Time allowance to assess:

A class set of activities might take around 15-20 minutes to mark; the teacher can then send the students their marks automatically, which allows them to read back through their work. Nearly all answers are not automatically generated, but only require a small amount of work to assign points. This is because the aim is to get students writing answers and not to just have multiple choice options.

Engage Your Students with this Fact vs Opinion game based on Texas History and Geography

What is among us? Both fact and opinion tell us that Texas history and geography are among us! What else is among us? Unlimited replay is among us! This is the best Texas history and Geography fact and opinion Among Us game experience on the platform! This ELA review of fact vs opinion encourages learners to apply their knowledge of Texas history and geography in an exciting game format to offer a truly unique learning adventure! Elevate your teaching toolkit with this fun, engaging, and educational game where learners try to beat the clock to distinguish fact from opinion using TEKS-aligned Texas history and geography topics.

Modeled after the popular interactive game Among Us (but not affiliated), learners are presented with a set of facts and one opinion. They have just 60 seconds to identify the "imposter" sentence—the one that is an opinion. With each correct answer, learners earn points, and the faster they respond, the more points they accumulate. But watch out! Incorrect answers will cost them points. This 10-minute Texas history and geography fact or opinion game is perfect for morning warm-ups or a midday energy boost, making learning history and geography both fun and effective. As an added bonus, fact and opinion game offers an unlimited replay option that allows learners to replay the game multiple times and receive a different set of questions every time.

If you like this, you'll love the comprehensive Texas History and Geography Jeopardy-style game that provides an engaging end-of-term review of the people, places, and events that shaped Texas history.

Make learning about American history interesting with this no-prep digital escape game bundle.  The games includes access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks.  Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game.  Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work!  Students can play individually or in teams.

Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit.  They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event.  This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.  

This item includes:

• Access to a website where your students can play the games
• Complete teacher's guide to playing the games
• Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning!  The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles without being 100% focused!

Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students.  You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district.  As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones.  With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.
