Arctic Animal Research Polar Nonfiction Informational Articles & Comprehension

This Arctic Animals Informational Article and Comprehension Activities includes an article about each arctic animal or polar animal in two formats (two-page color photos & one-page text), website resources for online articles and videos about each arctic animal, a fact sort sheet where students can sort facts about the animals, 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.

Arctic Animals in this BUNDLE include:

• Arctic Fox
• Arctic Hare
• Arctic Wolf
• Atlantic Puffin
• Caribou

These articles work well with my Informational Writing Tools packet that scaffolds expository or informational writing about animals from researching facts to writing paragraphs.
