2.B Physical Maps Processes that Shape the Earth – Earth’s Systems

Processes that Shape the Earth is an Earth’s Systems Unit that addresses the second grade Next Generation Science Standards.

This product is one section of the whole unit:
ESS2.B: Physical Maps (Sequence of Events)

There are three leveled passages, high, medium, and low, as well as Before Reading (three-part vocabulary cards and language development activity with the comprehension skill) During Reading (text dependent questions), and After Reading (comprehension with language development activity with the comprehension skill) as well as a Written End-of-Section Summative Assessment.

The activities in this product are great for all second-grade students including English learners and below grade-level readers. The Before Reading activity provide scaffolding for the comprehension skill using familiar content and scenarios. The three-part vocabulary cards allow students to interact with the vocabulary in a variety of ways.

The After Reading activity mimics the structure of the Before Reading activity and language of the comprehension skill so that students are familiar with the language patterns and need only use those patterns with new rigorous content.
