Ant Informational Article and Comprehension Activities

Ants: Informational Article, QR Code Research & Fact Sort includes an article about ants in two formats (two-page color photos & one-page text), QR Codes for online articles and videos about ants and a fact sort sheet where students can sort facts about ants.

I use these articles as a resource when researching and writing about animals. We read the article, look at a variety of web sites, and watch a couple of videos to gather all our facts about the animal. Once we have the facts, we sort the facts into categories and then write our research report.

Also available is a Life Cycle Animals BUNDLE that includes ants, bees, butterflies, frogs, ladybugs, praying mantis, and silkworms. Purchasing the BUNDLE will save you 50% off purchasing each animal individually.

This article works well with my Informational Writing Tools packet that scaffolds expository / informational writing about animals from researching facts to writing paragraphs.

This product does not include any graphic organizers or comprehension questions. Those are available in the Informational Writing Tools or Graphic Organizers products.

The videos are on YouTube, so be sure you can access them at school.
