Engaging Language Arts Activities for 7th and 8th Graders on Informational Text Comprehension

Today's activities for 7th and 8th grade Language Arts focused on enhancing comprehension of informational texts. In 7th grade, students engaged in a read-aloud of "Wolves," exploring text features and asking questions to develop critical thinking. They also planned their memoirs based on the read-aloud "Knots in My Yo-Yo String." In 8th grade, a review of discussion questions about "Sharks" set the stage for another read-aloud, focusing on text features. Students utilized response journals to reflect on their independent reading, further developing their questioning skills.
