Just in time for those snowy winter months: "How hard is it to predict snow?" is a Common Core-ready reading assignment and critical thinking activity. It is intended for upper elementary and middle school students. Consider using it in reading, language arts, science, or geography class. It is quite flexible!
Students will read a two-page passage that explains why forecasting snowfall is no easy process. They will then complete ten questions related to the reading.
First, they must use the reading (or a dictionary) to define seven vocabulary words. Some of which are "Tier Two" and "Tier Three" vocabulary words. (If you are not familiar, the "tiers" refer to language objectives in the Common Core standards.) They will also answer three critical thinking questions in sentence form.
There are no multiple choice or true-false questions here. I want my students to really use their noggins to succeed on this assignment!
