English Language Arts
I can compare facts in two articles and use clues to learn new words.
Look: Two articles, one topic
- Read both articles and highlight the facts in each one.
- Sort the facts: both articles, only Article A, only Article B.
- Clue tip: writers often explain a new word right after a comma or with 'This is called.'
Two Articles About Ants
Article A, "Ant Homes": Many ants live in a colony, a big group that shares one nest. Worker ants tunnel through the dirt and carry food home. A queen lays the eggs. Article B, "Ant Helpers": Ants dig tunnels that let air and water into the soil. This helps plant roots grow. Some ants carry seeds into their nests. Later, a few seeds sprout, or begin to grow, into new plants.
