Struggling to find a no-prep, engaging way to teach the summer solstice before break?
You’re not alone—end-of-year energy is low, and meaningful content is hard to come by!
This done-for-you Summer Solstice Pack includes everything you need: a high-interest informational reading passage, comprehension questions, writing prompts, word search, and a multiple-choice quiz—all ready to print or assign digitally.
I recommend using this resource with students aged 11-15. These activities are also suitable for ESL/ELL students whose level of English is Intermediate (B1-B2) or Advanced (C1-C2).
PRINT AND DIGITAL VERSIONS OF THE ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED.
