Order Topics From Broadest to Narrowest

Help students better understand what it means to have a topic with a broad scope versus a narrow scope with this helpful worksheet! As this worksheet explains, a broad scope covers a lot of information, while a narrower scope is much more specific. Learners will apply this logic as they read six sets of topics and order each set from broadest scope to narrowest scope. To encourage students along, ask them to consider how much information they might find about the topic, and have them use that to determine how broad or narrow the topic is. This one-page worksheet is a great way to help middle school learners build their research and writing skills.
