Description
Main Topic and Key Details Thanksgiving Informational Passages
In this packet, you'll find texts about Thanksgiving topics- perfect for engaging and grabbing the interest of students! These passages are ready to print and go. Guaranteed to catch the attention of your students!
Let your students join the Thanksgiving fun by finding the main idea and the supporting details and then recording it on a turkey graphic organizer craft! This also makes a creative bulletin board or school hallway display!
There are 7 different themes/main topics included in this packet. There are two versions of the worksheet. One page has lines to support beginning writers and the other page has no lines for students who are stronger writers to allow them to write more. These graphic organizers will be helpful to students as they determine the main idea and find the details that support it. The passages are the same on both pages.
There is an "answer key" to go with all of the passages. This is the "main idea" I had in mind as I wrote it and the main idea that I want my own students to identify. I also included the key details. It is just a starting point/guide to make it even EASIER for you!
The following "Thanksgiving" subjects are included:
⭐ The First Thanksgiving (Pilgrims and Native Americans)
⭐ Thanksgiving Food
⭐ Ways to Celebrate Thanksgiving
⭐ Turkeys
⭐ Thanksgiving Day Parade
⭐ How to Show Thankfulness
⭐ Squanto (Helping the Pilgrims)
I have used these activities in my own first grade classroom. All of the texts are leveled by lexile to be grade level appropriate for first grade, but it could also work well with advanced kindergartners or second graders who are reading below grade level.
So this can be used with multiple grade levels in a variety of ways and can be differentiated based on ability or need! All of the reading levels are between 300L - 500L (Which is somewhere between E and J); it is heavy on Thanksgiving vocabulary so having that background knowledge will be helpful for readers.
I have included a Thanksgiving "Key Vocabulary" Page that I use to familiarize my students so they can better understand the text.
Scaffold and differentiate with these passages to fit your kids individual needs. This works perfectly for literacy centers, as can do activities, independent work, small group, whole group, for early finishers or as remediation for reteaching.
