Reading Comprehension Passage with Questions | ELA High School

I love to have my students think about fear and how it is a natural, innate reaction that can actually be beneficial. What makes some people adrenaline junkies and other people cower in the corner when their pulse starts to quicken? This article explains, scientifically, what happens in our bodies when we start to feel frightened. It also offers some interesting tips on how we can use fear to benefit us. It would also work well when teaching inferences, text structure, and theauthor's purpose. 

This could also be used as a sub-plan. Everything students need for vocabulary, critical thinking, and test prep are all included!

I've included an article all about fear and how the emotion is natural and often controllable. I've also added some interesting information about scientific experiments about fear. Students will see 9 multiple-choice questions and one constructed response question. I've also added a vocabulary practice and 5 pre-reading questions to get your students thinking about the text as well as their own lives. If you'd prefer a digital version of the text + a self-grading quiz, I've also added that to the packet with the instructions on how to implement Google Quizzes in your classroom.
