I think this resource was perfect for my students. I was able to use this as a lead-up to Earth Day and talk about why renewable resources are important for the Earth. It fits perfectly with the informative writing unit that we were learning in addition to practicing gathering information from resources.

I used this as a homework assignment for my son. It was great! We used it to help him practice. He completed it on his own and then I reviewed areas to improve when he was finished. It was a fantastic resource. Just wish there were more prompts! 🙂
