Shark Week Blog Hop

All teachers know that kids learn more when they’re excited and engaged. Today Matt from Digital: Divide & Conquer and I are hosting a team of bloggers to help your students take a BITE out of learning with a theme your students are sure to love!

 Slide6

 My Shark Week freebie is a few shark-themed passages for about grades 3-5. Together, the three passages guide students in analyzing genre, while still including some general annotations and reading comprehension, too! After reading the three passages, students complete a short written response that forces them to compare and contrast the passages.


I am REALLY excited to try this out with my class- and I can't wait to hear what you think!

Be sure to go for a swim and visit Hilary at Rockin' Teacher Materials for the next free resource!

Every blog in the Shark Week Blog Hop features a jawesome freebie for you and your students- but hurry! Shark Week only lasts until Sunday, July 12  : )

    I love the Shark Genre resource! I can't wait to use it with my 3rd Graders. For some reason, the Penniless Teacher doesn't have a Shark Week Logo on her page. Is there a way to continue on the hop?
    Thanks again for the fun product!
