Comprehension Fact and Opinion DVD•165
Read the text. Write the answer to each question.
Rachel Carson
How do we know so much about the ocean? Rachel Carson was a brilliant scientist and writer. She wrote about the ocean in her books The Sea Around Us and The Edge of Sea. Born in 1907 in Pennsylvania, Rachel’s love of nature came at an early age from her mother. Rachel felt it was important to protect Earth’s natural resources too. She found that some chemicals were dangerous to living things. They were harming crops and people. She wrote a book called Silent Spring. In her book, Rachel warned about the danger of using certain chemicals. At the time, there weren’t many women scientists. Some scientists believed Rachel’s ideas were wrong. But Rachel fought bravely to protect the natural world. In 1963, she went to the government and asked for new policies to protect people’s health and the environment.
1. How do you know this story is a biography?
The story is about a real person.
The story is about a make-believe person.
2. What fact tells you Rachel Carson was interested in the ocean?
