Item description

This is a history reading passage and comprehension assessment on Jacques Cartier, the French explorer who sailed to North America in the 16th century. He made three voyages to Canada, hoping to find a route to Asia and to claim lands for France. In 1534, he explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and in 1535, he sailed up the St. Lawrence River. He named Canada and helped pave the way for French colonization in the New World, marking a significant chapter in exploration history. This passage is written for Grade 5-8 students and can be used in a number of ways by teachers (close reading, direct instruction in class, independent practice, homework, test prep, assessment, sub work, centers, etc). Please see the Preview for an idea of the passage style and to view all the assessment questions. This “printable/no prep” resource includes:
1) An engaging 1200-word passage titled “Jacques Cartier: French Explorer of Canada.” The passage is at an upper elementary and middle school reading level and tells the story of Cartier’s three voyages to Canada between 1534 and 1542.
2) A total of 33 questions, including close-reading comprehension, fact and opinion, and sequencing events from Cartier’s travels.
