Then answer each question.  \nThe Animal Assignment  \nA chorus of groans erupted from Mr. Trevino’s class. It was late Friday afternoon and his students were looking forward to the long weekend. No one wanted homework!  \n“Hold on,” Mr. Trevino said. He raised his hands in front of him to silence the rush of complaints from his students. “I promise to make this one fun. Your assignment will be to write about an animal you want to be.”  \n“Can it be any animal?” Jayden asked.  \n“You can pick any animal you like, but you need to do some research. I want you to think about this,” Mr. Trevi no said. “Part of your assignment will be to explain the reasons for your choice.”  \nStudents were still comparing animals when the school bell rang. Landon thought he wanted to be a bear. Kiera said she wanted to  \nbe a unicorn, and everyone laughed.  \n“You have to pic k a real animal,”  \nLandon said, and rolled his eyes.  \nJayden thought about picking a fox. He thought foxes looked cool. He also liked the way they pounced on their prey in nature films.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nOn Saturday, Jayden started searching the internet. He looked for safe sites with good information, like zoos. He discovered red foxes run up to 30 miles per hour and can hear a mouse squeak from up to 100 feet away. However, he also learned foxes get preyed on by lots of other animals like wolves, bears, and cougars. Jayden wanted the animal he picked to be higher up in the food chain.  \nJayden wondered about picking a cougar. He learned only humans hunt adult cougars. He read cougars run up to 40 miles per hour in asprint. Jayden thought it might be awesome to leap 18-feet like a cougar. He also discovered cougars spend a lot of time living alone. Jayden wanted the animal he picked to live with a family.  \nNext, Jayden researched the dolphin. He discovered that dolphin families live together in groups called pods. He read about how smart dolphins are and how they talk using clicks and squeaks. He thought it might be fun to race through the water at 18 miles per hour like a dolphin. He also learned about the things that pollute the  \nseas the dolphins swim in. Jayden wanted the animal he picked  \nto have a clean place to live. This assignment was turning out to  \nbe a lot harder than Jayden imagined.  \nOn Sunday, Jayden returned to his search. He thought  \nabout being a koala until he found out they only eat leaves. He thought about being a giraffe until he found out they can grow 18-feet tall. Jayden did not like being in high places. He thought about being a bull until he read about bullfights. Jayden began to worry he would not have a paper to hand in on Tuesday.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nSitting in front of the computer on Monday morning, Jayden got a great idea. The animal he was thinking about couldn’t run as fast asa fox. It couldn’t leap like a cougar or swim like a dolphin. It couldn’t fight like a bull. It wasn’t as cute as a koala or as tall as a giraffe. But his animal did have some special attributes.  \nAfter he checked some facts online, he started writing. He stopped to think about his reasons, like his teacher had asked them to, and  \nthen Jayden wrote some more. By dinner time, Jayden had finished his assignment. He hoped Mr. Trevi no would like it.  \nLate the following Friday afternoon, Mr. Trevi no stood in front of the class holding a stack of papers.  \n“I’ve finished reading your animal assignments, and they show a lot of imagination. I would like to point out one student who made a unique choice. Jayden, can you  \nstand up and tell the class what animal you wrote about and why?”  \nJayden was happy that the teacher liked his work, but he did not want to stand up and tell the class what he wrote. He was so embarrassed his face felt warm and he knew he was turning red.  \n“Well,” Jayden began. “The animal I wrote about wanting to be was a human.
