WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE COMPLETE ACTIVITY
⚠️ This adapted Portuguese Language Arts activity was designed to develop Reading Comprehension, Text Genres, and Grammar skills in students who can already read and write but need short texts, clear instructions, and structured questions.
The activity uses two contextualized texts—one about the use of technology in schools and another about the movie Inside Out—to develop reading skills, information identification, subject-verb agreement, and recognition of grammatical elements.
7 adapted questions + complete answer key, distributed across 2 activity pages.
The sequence begins by understanding the main topic of a text and progresses to identifying the characteristics of news articles, subject-verb agreement, distinguishing opinions, understanding the differences between critical reviews and synopses, conjunctions, and pronouns.
Suitable for literate Middle School and High School students, depending on their curricular adaptation needs.
It may be particularly helpful for students with:
Mild Intellectual Disabilities who need clear language and well-organized information.
ADHD who may benefit from short texts and tasks with clearly defined objectives.
Reading and comprehension difficulties who need focused questions and reduced writing demands.
Portuguese Language Arts learning difficulties, particularly in understanding text genres and grammatical concepts.
The material can also support Portuguese Language Arts and Specialized Educational Support (AEE) teachers.

Reading comprehension: Identifying the main topic of a text about technology in schools.
News article genre: Recognizing the presentation of real events as one of its characteristics.
Subject-verb agreement: Identifying the correct agreement between the subject and verb.
Fact and opinion: Recognizing a subjective evaluation of the movie Inside Out.
Critical reviews and synopses: Distinguishing between presenting a story and evaluating a work.
Additive conjunction: Understanding the function of the Portuguese word “e” (and).
Pronouns: Recognizing their function in replacing or accompanying nouns.
The activity organizes different Portuguese Language Arts skills into a sequence of reading and language analysis, with independent questions and clear answer choices.
In the first three questions, students read a text about the use of technology in schools, identify its main topic, recognize a characteristic of news articles, and select the sentence with correct subject-verb agreement: “A tecnologia contribui para a aprendizagem.” (Technology contributes to learning.)
In the fourth question, students use a short text about the movie Inside Out to distinguish between information and opinion, recognizing that the statement “O filme é interessante” (The movie is interesting) expresses a subjective evaluation.
In the fifth question, students identify that a synopsis presents the story, while a critical review also evaluates the work, developing their understanding of the purposes of these text genres.
In the sixth question, students interpret the sentence “Ana estuda e trabalha” (Ana studies and works) and recognize that the conjunction “e” establishes an additive relationship.
In the seventh question, students identify that pronouns can replace or accompany nouns, reviewing a fundamental grammatical concept.
The activity supports the development of reading comprehension, text genre recognition, and grammatical analysis without requiring lengthy written responses.
