Civil War Battles Scavenger Hunt - Reading Comprehension Stations

The Civil War Battles Scavenger Hunt is an engaging cross-curriculum reading comprehension activity. Allow your students to move around the room, visit reading passages and answer questions. The student recording sheet is broken down into different skills – ELA, Math, Context Clues, Drawing and Writing.

Topics include: Battles of the Civil War, Fort Sumter, Bull Run, Ironclads, Shiloh, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Spotsylvania.

The task card scavenger hunt is designed so that students must visit/read each of the ten fact cards! That means they have to read the passage or skim for details multiple times!

Students will use non-fiction social studies content to practice reading skills, improve fluency, reading comprehension and use context clues.
