Skill: Reading comprehension

“Important facts about polar bears”
 Lesson aim: At the end of the lesson students will be able to comprehend
important information about polar bears
 Task: Students will read a text about polar bears. The text includes specific
information that they will need to look for like size, colour, and
characteristic of polar bears. After reading and finding the most relevant
ideas, students need to write a summary in no more than 12 lines. The
summary must include the title of the text, and they need to include the
important information that was mention before (size, colour and
characteristics of the polar bear )
“Polar Bears”
The polar bear is the world’s largest land predator and also the largest species of bear.
Male polar bears may grow to 10 feet tall and weigh over 1400 pounds. Females may
reach 7 feet and weigh up to 650 pounds. The only predators of polar bears are humans.
Around 25,000 to 40,000 polar bears roam the arctic today. A female polar bear can start
having babies at the age of four or five. They have their babies in a large cave that they’ve
dug in a snow drift. Polar bears usually only have two cubs. These cubs are the size of a
rat and usually weigh less than a pound.
Polar bears have long, narrow heads. They have a black nose and black skin. Polar bears
may look white but their hair is translucent. They have large rough paw pads to prevent
them from slipping on the ice. Their toes are slightly webbed to help them swim
Polar bears hunt ringed and bearded seals. They will usually wait silently at a seal’s
breathing hole and wait for it to surface for air. They also hunt beluga whales, walrus, fish
and reindeer. During the summer months they also eat berries and kelp (seaweed) if other
food is unavailable. Polar bears also hunt by swimming under the ice. They use their huge
front paws as paddles. Climate change is the biggest threat to polar bears today. Polar
bears use the ice as a platform to hunt seals; if this ice pack starts to melt it will have a
great affect on their survival.
