Weekly English assignment #4 grade 6 class of Mme Beljo
6. a) Read the following text and then answer the questions.
The Arctic Ocean
The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and coldest ocean in the world. It stretches from
the North Pole to Asia, Europe, and North America. The Arctic Ocean is mostly
covered in sea ice all year. It is home to walruses, polar bears, and whales.
Because the ocean is so cold, few plants and animals can live there.
The Arctic Ocean covers 5.4 million square miles. It is smaller than all other
oceans. It is also the shallowest ocean. The temperature of the Arctic Ocean stays
around 32 degrees Fahrenheit (zero degrees Celsius). The large amount of sea ice
in the ocean stops its temperature from changing too much. However, much of
the ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting because of global warming.
Was there any part of the passage that you did not understand right away? How
did you figure it out? Explain the strategy you used.
