Amos and Boris - Common Core Text Exemplar - Freebie

 I hope you've liked my series on the text exemplars for second and third grade Common Core so far. I have found most of the titles on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.com. For some reason, I often got better prices if I clicked on a picture of the book in the little scroll bar that shows up once you have added an item to your cart. (It's where the companies show you titles that other buyers also purchased.)


Today's text exemplar is Amos and Boris, a story about friendship between a mouse and a whale. Click on the pic above to get a document with TWO activities for your literacy stations! The first is a review of the story elements for Amos and Boris. The second is a matching activity using context clues on words from the story.

Are you using the Common Core text exemplars in your classroom? Leave me comment and tell me what you're doing.

The Sign Painter -- Freebie -- Common Core Text Exemplar

Here's another post in my series on the Common Core text exemplars for second and third grade. My students are going to love the illustrations. Allen Say's beautiful text tells a captivating story that leaves just enough to the imagination. It is a great title to use for inferencing, making predictions, describing how characters change in the course of a story.....you name it, this book has it!

This activity has three different documents for literacy stations in one download! Students can make predictions, analyze characters, and discuss story elements. 
Just click on the pic above to download the file.

Please leave a comment and let me know if you use any of the text exemplars.
