GO PAPERLESS! This activity includes both PDF and GOOGLE SLIDES versions!

In this activity, students will:

  • Answer text-dependent questions using information from the readings
  • Complete a graphic organizer about the symbiotic relationships from the text

Teacher Notes:

  • This resource does not teach symbiosis. We use it as a reinforcement lesson. There are many ways to incorporate these readings. You might use the readings with your favorite reading strategy – herringbone, chunking the text, etc. It could also be used in a group activity, where groups read just one of the readings and present the information to the whole class orally or in a poster.
