Football Helmet Safety Poster Project for Third Grade
A poster-making worksheet for students reading at a 3rd-grade level, built around the article "Crunch!" about how football helmets have improved to protect players from head injuries. Students pick a big idea, find information in the article and trusted sources, and combine words with pictures like diagrams and graphs, which builds informational reading, note-taking, and visual communication skills. Guided fill-in lines and step-by-step directions make it well suited to a special education class.
“Can you make this worksheet for a special education class with reading levels of 3rd grade.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a multi-day project after students have read "Crunch!" together, perhaps spread across two or three 30-minute sessions so each step gets focused attention.
- Discussion question: How have football helmets changed over time, and why do those changes help keep players safe?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Read each step aloud, model a sample big-idea sentence on the board, and offer sentence starters or a word bank for the fill-in lines.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to compare information from the article with a second trusted source and note where the two agree or differ.
- Estimated time: About 90 minutes total, including reading the article, planning the poster, and creating a simple layout.
