All of the paragraphs on the odd numbered cards are fictional, while those on the even numbered cards are nonfiction (informational text). That way you can split the cards into two decks if you want to focus on one type of text.
There are 4 different student answer sheets provided. Two of them simply require students to sketch what they see in their minds. The other two also include writing lines so that students can incorporate their other senses and write about what they might hear, smell, feel, or taste. Use the one that works best for you. A visualizing poster, a cover card, and a challenge card you can use to extend the activity are also included.
