Connecting Literature and Informational Texts

Question 3 • AFHS CA Reading (GE 4th)

Read these two texts then answer the questions. Passage 1: From the book Jump In, Polar Bear Pete jumped into the water to try to cool off. "What's the matter, Pete?" asked Sammy the Seal. "It's so much hotter this summer than it was last summer. I think my fur coat is too warm," replied Pete. "Good thing we have more water in our ocean to swim in since all that ice melted because of global warming," said Sammy. Passage 2: From the NASA Climate Kids article "What Is Climate Change?"
