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 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.

Used this as a resource that I adapted to fit the needs of the small group I worked with. Has a lot of extra activities for students to interact with the text which I didn't use.

What a great resource! I loved how I was able to use this with my students with different levels of needs.

My students love the informational reading and the note taking worksheets that go along with each animal. We use these to write our individual animal reports. Parents like them because all the information is in one source and they can easily help their children find the information needed to write a great report. We use parts of it as homework - the vocabulary sheets - to create a glossary for our report and the cut/paste to review what we have learned and make sure we did not miss any important information in our notes. Parents can help complete both of these at home and then we do the reading and note taking at school and eventually put all of it together to create a report.
