The Winter Escape | Winter Partner Poem + Activities

Description

This poetry packet is perfect for reinforcing comprehension and for bringing fluency fun into your classroom during the winter season!

Students can work in pairs to read the included partner poem, “The Winter Escape”, focusing on different voices and character perspectives. Students will love the back-and-forth structure of the poem and changing their voices to match the expression of the penguin and polar bear characters.

There are three follow-up activities to support their comprehension: “Polar Character Feelings” “Poetry Mind Pictures,” and “Comic Strip Retelling.” Use the activities in a Literacy Center or as part of your ELA block. They’re even great for sending home!

This packet includes evidence-based question sheets at two different levels to reinforce text-response skills. Students can practice using evidence from the text to support their thinking!

A highlighted “Readers Theater” script format is also included for easier tracking while reading.

• Teacher/Parent Letter

• Instructional Scope & Sequence
