Recycling Reframed

In this analytical reading activity, students compare two short articles about recycling-one written in an informative tone and the other in a fun, engaging style. They complete a chart identifying each article’s tone, word choices, main message, and similarities. The questions encourage students to evaluate audience appeal and author effectiveness, promoting critical reading and perspective-taking. This worksheet builds both literacy and environmental awareness.
