Inventions of the 1800s

I have found that integrating whenever and wherever possible is a great way to make sure that I am addressing all of the Common Core Standards and giving my students enough practice to reach mastery in each skill. With outdated textbooks and lackof resources, I created close reading passages and differentiated reading passages based on important Social Studies and Science concepts. These passages are designed so that each student in your classroom can access rich content on his or her reading level.

Content-specific vocabulary is incorporated into each passage. Each passage is original, research-based, and written in an engaging way to make content come alive. Students enter our classrooms with a wide range of reading levels, yet are expected to masterthe same content. Each passage comes in THREE LEVELS of differentiation so that you can meet EACH STUDENT at his or her reading level with the SAME rich content. It is up to you to choose which level you assign each student to use. Remember that

Common Core sets RIGOROUS standards for our students and reading levels are higher using Common Core Standards Appendix (Figure 3) as a guideline for these passages. The following guidelines regarding each passage level will help you determine which

passage is best for each student.The passage included in this set has been analyzed to fit three levels of classroom readers based on the Common Core Standards

Reading Levels. The passages are gradually differentiated. Each passage, regardless of the level, contains the same essentialinformation. Easier passages have simpler words and shorter sentences. More challenging passages may have advanced vocabulary

and more complex sentences. The questions remain the same for each for ease of grading, whole group grading, and discreet differentiation of student needs.

Note: The passage levels are indicated by DISCREET SHAPES in the corner so that you can tell which level is which without your students ever knowing! The shapes are listed below with the corresponding reading level.

Inventions of the 1800sThere were many inventions in the 1800’s. They changed the way that Americans lived. They changed

the way Americans lived by impacting the way that people communicated. They changed the way that

people traveled across land. They changed the way that people traveled across rivers. It would be three

men that greatly influence d the United States in the 1800’s through their inventions.

Robert Fulton invented the steamboat in 1807. Steamboats were powered by steam. The steamboats

would travel much faster than ever. What would have taken weeks and months would instead take days. The

steamboats would travel on rivers and canals. Canals are man-made rivers. The purpose of the steamboat

was to deliver goods from city to city for trade, buying, and selling.

George Stephenson created the first successful steam locomotive engine in 1814. Trips west in the United

States would take months before the steam locomotive. They were uncomfortable. The risk of the loss of

life was large. Trips west were reliable and fast with the steam locomotive. Goods and raw materials could

travel on the steam locomotives. They helped in the country’s manufacturing boom in the 1800’s.

Samuel Morse invented the first method of long-distance communication in 1837. The method included

an output of a paper copy. The paper copy contained dots and dashes that were raised. The raised dots

and dashes represented the letters of the alphabet. The letters of the alphabet would form words. The

words were messages sent to and from a location from different people.
