I hope that these shark posts have given you some ideas for lessons! If you wanted to create a little unit, the resources below might help round it out. Hope you enjoy!
NON-FICTION ARTICLES
Have you been to Newsela? They have "real" articles (sources like AP or Scientific American) that can are available in a variety of grade levels & lexile levels. The site requires a username, but it's free and WELL worth it!
Just type "sharks" into the search box and plenty of articles will pop up. Here's one.
I think this would be tons of fun for a multi-age home school or multi-level class... you're third grader and sixth grader could read the same article!
SHARK ADVOCATES
Sharks4Kids advocates for sharks through education. They have teacher resources including vocabulary, non-fiction compare & contrast activities for multiple grades, and short videos.

POETRY/LITERATURE
Write a Cinquain Poemusing this template!
{I like cinquain poems because they emphasize parts of speech.}
Put your final copy poem in a shark outline. Write your cinquain twice if you want it to go around the shark!
