One popular thing I have noticed with resources we purchase is the title ‘No Prep’. Now, think about it. This does not really happen in a classroom!
So, let’s just call it ‘Easy Prep’! My easy prep activities are exactly what the title proclaims. It’s easy.
What is involved?
- Decide what pages you need

Students read 10 cards with each having a paragraph. Each card has a question to answer. But HERE IS THE TRICKY PART!
