Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise
Purposeful and Transparent
Students want to know how to keep their families safe. Knowing what to do in case of a fire is a very real and present circumstance for some.

Contextual
While students are building their reading skills, they can also create a piece of information for other parents who are concerned about fire safety.

Building Expertise
Summarizing is an important skill for students to use in their reading and writing activities.
