About this worksheet
Surviving and Thriving, the passage in this 4th grade reading, sets two regions side by side. In the Desert Southwest, people build thick adobe walls and plant cacti and agave instead of lawns. In the snowy Northeast, steep roofs shed snow, and cold nights make maple sap run. Six questions follow over 4 pages. They move from fact recall to a true-or-false about an adobe house in Maine, then to how people adapt where the student lives. It fits C3 Framework D2.Geo.4.3-5, and the answer key covers every question.
