6Cs Article 012: Hot Toast, Toasted Skin, and TikTok - Communication - Easel

MAKE CONNECTIONS while students read about hot toast, TOASTED SKIN syndrome, and TikTok!

Differentiated Reading Text.

Communication mini-lesson, discussion questions, and answer key explore whether TikTok is an effective means of communication. (You might be surprised.)

Want to see exactly what you get before you buy this product?

• Watch the PREVIEW VIDEO

• Look at the PREVIEW PDF.
  (It is a watermarked version of the entire PDF resource.)

This lesson includes concepts from the 6Cs COMMUNICATION chapter of the GROWTH MINDSET 21st Century Learning bundle.

This article goes well with the MAKING CONNECTIONS reading strategy.

This article comes in 4 differentiated reading levels:

• Handout A Grade 4

• Handout B Grade 6

• Handout C Grade 8

• Handout D Grade 10

NOTE:

• Reading grade levels are approximate.

• I used Hemingway Editor to re-write each paragraph for the different grade levels. Hemingway determines the “grade level” of your text using the Automated Readability Index.

• Although there are many different readability formulas that calculate different grades, the bottom line is there are different versions of the article.

• EACH BODY PARAGRAPH is numbered. All differentiated versions of the articles contain the same paragraph structure. (So paragraph 1 has the same facts in all three reading levels.)

IMPORTANT!

This digital download product contains all of the print files + an EASEL by TpT digital learning version.

• This product was previously split into separate file types with zipped folders. There was a Google Docs Zipped Folder, a Microsoft Word Zipped Folder, an Easel by TpT / PDF Zipped Folder, and then a product (bundle) to include all of the versions.

• I've now combined all of the file types into this single PDF digital download product to make your life easier.
