Resource Critique Activity

I decided to research 4th grade work!  I came across standard LAFS.4.RI.3.7.  This standard is all about interpreting information not presented necessarily in a traditional way.  It shows information in terms of charts, diagrams, interactive videos etc.  We use these tools so we can then compare to our text information and see exactly how it has helped us arrive to our answer.  I chose to study an example of an activity.  Its labeled as c.014 comprehension, expository text structure and text feature find.  The purpose of the activity is almost like a scavenger hunt.  You will need a book and the worksheet.  The worksheet is set up as a chart and has different things it wants you to look for.  You then go into the book and search for each example and then right yes or no in the chart if you found it.  The examples range from bar charts, to table of content, and even a glossary.  Its suppose to help you familiarize yourself with different examples of of evidence.  I personally think this is a great worksheet!  It really allows the student to become more familiar with a textbook, but not only focusing on the actual text.  It shows them how bar graphs and charts can lead them to an answer the exact same way a paragraph could.  I remember doing a worksheet exactly like this when I was a kid and I thought it was super fun.   Maybe they can even work in pairs.
