Zombie Apocalypse Reading Task Cards (Citing Evidence & Supporting Ideas) SET 1

Looking for a way to develop your students’ reading skills, while having fun – look no further! These cards have 12 short texts for students to really drill down into the skills they need to become excellent readers. Students love zombies and this, along with my other themed resources, keeps them smiling through the whole unit.

I’ve used this with secondary (middle school) students who tell me they really enjoy these short activities to focus on particular skills.

I am used to teaching mixed-ability classes with EAL students and all my students can rise to this challenge, from those who are below to those who are above grade level. (Please check suitability of the topic for younger students, although I avoid gory images and explicit mention of weapons such as guns.)

Produced on printer-friendly paper, these task cards are sure to be a resource you use time and time again.

Included:

* ideas on how to use the task cards

* 12 different tasks at different levels, focusing on individual skills

* answer sheet for students to record their responses (optional double-sided printable)

* suggested answers

This product is CCSS-aligned but would complement any reading skills development.
