Texas Cares - Hurricane Harvey and its Consequences + Refection - FREE Mini Unit

Because Texas cares, I decided to make this mini unit related to Hurricane Harvey and its consequences + reflexional sheets+ foldable activity that go along with the unit.

I just posted this great set of worksheets at my TPT store and the following pictures show you samples of the activities:


Activity 1: Students have to color a sheet with the phrase: TEXAS CARES



Activity 2: Students have to read the information provided in the sheet. Then, the teacher make a disscussion in the classroom and/or let the students search relevant information on the net. The following links are some of the possible websites that can help to the searching:



Activity 3: This is a writing task for the students to write a reflexional paragraph related to how they can help Texas. The teacher can also make a mindmap in order to write some ideas disscussed in the class as a braimstorming activity.


Activity 4: Students have to use this bubble map in order to write words expressing to a Texan person who is suffering from Hurricane Harvey. This can be a pair, group or individual activity.


Activity 5: Students have the chance to make their own foldable card related to TEXAS CARES! There are two sheets available for this activity. I provide a set of small pictures and the words TEXAS CARES in order to cut and paste for decoration. Inside the card, students can write whatever they like about the natural disaster.





You can share this post in order to help other teachers plan a lesson on TEXAS CARES!!!
