Owl Informational Article and Comprehension Activities
$3.00
Owl informational article that includes vocabulary cards and comprehension activities.
This Owl Informational Article and Comprehension Activities includes an article about owls in two formats (two-page color photos & one-page text), website resources for online articles and videos about owls, a fact sort sheet where students can sort facts about owls, a variety of note-taking sheets, comprehension activities, and mini-report pages.
Use these articles as a resource when researching and writing about animals. 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 students have the facts, sort the facts into categories, and then write a research report.
This article works well with my Informational Writing Tools packet that scaffolds expository / informational writing about animals from researching facts to writing paragraphs.
Included in this Owl resource are:
- Vocabulary Cards with key terms from the reading passage
- Vocabulary Activities – matching with and without photos & Frayer Model
- Informational Article in two formats (with and without photos)

My students picked their own animals to research. I have books about animals, but many of them are difficult for my second graders to read. I could have them research online, but that proved to be simply too broad and confusing. I came across these articles and they are just what the doctor ordered. Organized, easy enough to read (but not TOO easy). I love how in the future if I taught older grades I could utilize the graphic organizers as literacy centers. Really great product. Well worth my money.
