TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jennifer H. says, "These are really nice passages with great comprehension questions. I really like that the content of the passages is a relevant topic to my students. Many of them are interested in social media, but they are often unaware of pitfalls of these platforms. There are only so many hours in the school day, and with rigorous testing requirements, important life skills, such as digital citizenship, do not receive the appropriate amount of instructional time. This activity combines digital citizenship with the reading curriculum, so you're teaching both topics at the same time!"
 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jami B. says, “My students needed practice taking information from two texts about the same topic and then writing about it. This was perfect and the topic was engaging for students."
 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah W says, “This was the PERFECT topic to help me teach this standard. The kids were so into it!"
