At my house, we have a lot of fun. One of our favorite activities is to make up stories about our pets. We have a dog and three cats who live on our back porch. We pretend that the dog, Sergeant, is silly and naive. Jacques the cat is a professor who is prideful and wise. Pepe' the cat is always looking for aliens and conspiracies. Finally, Toulouse the cat is completely wild and always tearing everything up. Meet the Porch Pals!
My husband and I have been collaborating to write a series of passages about the Porch Pals and are writing constructed response test questions to go along with them. There are three Porch Pals packets available for purchase in our Teachers Pay Teachers store already. Each packet contains an original Porch Pals passage, constructed response questions, a creative response page for the story, and an essay writing prompt. There is also a rubric included and some sample prompts for citing evidence in constructed response questions.
My students have loved reading the stories about Sergeant and Jacques (Pepe' and Toulouse will be introduced soon)! We have used the packets in my classroom to offer the kids the chance to practice their reading comprehension skills and citing evidence in their answers! They have also enjoyed the creative response and writing prompts!
