Text Feature Scavenger Hunt for 4th Grade
A short scavenger-hunt worksheet that has 4th graders locate headings, subheadings, a photo caption, and a sidebar in the article 'Solving Problems' and record one new fact from each. It builds skills in identifying and using text features to find information, and it closes with an extension question on how subheadings organize information about government response.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a quick warm-up or a 20-30 minute independent or partner activity after introducing text features like headings, captions, and sidebars.
- Discussion question: Why might a sidebar give you different information than the main paragraphs, and when would that be useful?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a short list of the text features with a sample answer for the first item, and have them underline each feature in the article before answering.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them answer the extension question in writing, then explain how they would use the subheadings to find the local, state, and federal response details quickly.
- Estimated time: About 20-30 minutes, depending on how much rereading students need.
