Students are given a statement (i.e. Carrots were originally purple; The first food to be eaten in outer space was soup; etc.) and they must decide whether it is a truth or a myth. This food-themed mini set includes 10 facts geared towards popular foods (i.e. popcorn, cheese, cotton candy, Oreos, etc.). For each fact, there is a Truth or Myth statement on the first page, followed by a short passage that explains the answer and provides some background information on the second page. The third page contains several speech and language targets for that fact and passage.
This resource is PERFECT for use with mixed groups to target the following goals...
Text structure
Comprehension (reading or listening)
Inferencing/making educated guesses
Vocabulary (tier II words are all underlined)
Comparing and contrasting
Multiple meaning words
Describing
Categorizing/attributes
Articulation at the sentence and reading levels, through carry over to conversation

...and SO much more!
Carrier phrases and visuals addressing articulation, inferencing, text structure, and comprehension (KWL strategy) are also included! This is the ULTIMATE low prep activity for older speech and language students. This resource can be printed and prepped OR downloaded and used as a digital PDF.
