Description
This printable/no prep US History reading and assessment activity helps address several Common Core ELA Standards that are listed below this introduction and is suitable for Grades 5-8. Students will first read an engaging 1100-word text on the life and travels of Daniel Boone. Written at Flesch-Kincaid Reading Level 6.2, the article traces his life story chronologically as well as provides a review of the explorations and adventures of this great American pioneer and Kentucky legend.
After the reading there are 26 text-dependent multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, or written questions that require application of the Common Core Standards to the article. Also included is an additional crossword puzzle to use with early finishers or as an alternative form of assessment. Answers are provided for all questions.
This resource can be used in a number of ways by teachers (close reading, direct instruction in class, independent practice, absence work, homework, test prep, assessment, centers, etc).
ELA Standards
RI.5.1: Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

RI.6.3: Analyze in detail how a key individual, event, or idea is introduced, illustrated, and elaborated in a text (e.g., through examples or anecdotes).
L.4.5C: Demonstrate understanding of words by relating them to their opposites (antonyms) and to words with similar but not identical meanings (synonyms).
