Activity Overview

In this activity, students will be provided a question or prompt to answer using textual evidence. The prompt here is, “Your friend wants a pet, but has a baby brother. Which pet would be the best option and why?”

The three examples provided include:

  1. Fish are beautiful and easy to take care of; these pets are a good choice for kids of any age.
  2. Rodents, such as mice or gerbils, are cute and don't require a lot of space or time. They are friendly and can learn to do tricks.
  3. Insects, such as crickets or grasshoppers, are safe for kids. They can be kept in a jar with holes poked in the top, but should be set free the next day.
