Showing evidence is such an important skill that students need to learn. I decided to take my monthly comp files and create a special edition version for Presidents’ Day
In this resource, you’ll get 15 nonfiction passages + question sets AND a bonus passage/question set added last year in honor of our newest president, Joe Biden.

This is awesome! I try to incorporate as many holidays as possible into my instruction, but what makes this such a cool product is that it targets a massively important skill that my fifth-graders need to keep practicing: text evidence. I love that there are a variety of presidents that students can choose from. Your picture examples were very helpful with the color-coding and annotating idea.
