Common Core Standards include a list of text exemplars for grade clusters. Here are two activities for The Fire Cat, by Esther Averill, listed for second and third grade.
Students organize events from the plot into the correct sequence in the first file. In the second, they compare and contrast the cat's characteristics in the beginning of the book with those from the ending.
Just click on the pic above to download both activities!
Thank you! Working with the new CC standards is challenging and I appreciate your hard work. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my all time FAVORITE stories as a kiddo. My copy is trashed . . . or as I like to put it, "VERY well loved." Thanks for the freebies. I especially like the venn comparing Pickles at the beginning and at the end of the story. Great ideas!!
