One text page of 20 true/false questions about the story you just read follows, along with 2 discussion questions. There is another text page which discusses the moral implications of both sides of the story. The correct answers to the questions are upside-down on the bottom of the page and you can tally your score on a scoresheet.
The word balloons used in this series stand out and call attention to themselves, as they are not rounded in shape, but oddly shaped, having anywhere from 6 to 9 sides. |
