Reading/Listening Comprehension Exercises

Monday, April 7th
Listening Comprehension: Dinosaurs

1.  Make a foldable to help organize while listening to the article.  This is also a great strategy to use on the SAGE Listening Comp. portion.

2.  Go to Scope Magazine April Issue: Dinosaurs

3.  A window should pop-up asking you to log in.  The user name is rachel.robins@washk12.org, password is metaphor.

4.  Go to "The Girl who Discovered Dinosaurs"/"Dinosaurs For Sale" and listen to the audio versions of both articles.  Fill out the foldable as you listen to help you on the quiz.  Each article uses all four squares, so do one article on one side and the other article on the other side.

5.  Select the non-interactive reading comprehension quiz, print, complete and return to me OR you may do the interactive quiz and email it to me. Be sure to follow instructions and verify that I received it.
