20 one-page activities for grades 3–5 on recognizing, analyzing, explaining, and remixing informational text structures

The editable version keeps directions, evidence and response areas as native BoboCreate elements, so you can adjust names, numbers or wording before printing.

What the free template includes

Read the evidence before calculating

Each page puts the facts students need in one place — often as a graph, model, map or table — and asks them to show their reasoning before answering.

Print only what you need

Print student pages on US Letter at Actual Size (100%). Keep the answer pages for the adult, or view them on screen.
