As I did with Map Reading and Geography, I created a
science textbook. Each textbook was simply a three-ring binder using dividers
for chapter headings. Integrated into each topic were the following language
arts exercises.
Comprehension Questions (answer questions, fill in the blanks, matching,
cloze activities, multiple choice)
Outlining
text and oral presentation from outlines
Writing
summaries
Compare
and contrast activities (Venn
diagrams)
Outlining
in preparation for writing
Writing
guided research papers
Spelling
and Vocabulary Exercises for content words
This was a fairly old book (1968) that I think I found at a resale shop (or it
might have been Ericís dadís). This particular book is out of print but there
are a lot of similar titles available. It was one of those question and answer
books for children. We let Scott pick a topic from the table of contents and
read one question and answer each day. Eric enjoyed picking out a topic every
day and it gave us some ideas of what topics interested him.
