This middle school reading comprehension explores Area 51, which is the common name of a highly classified United States Air Force (USAF) facility located within the Nevada Test and Training Range. According to some, its existence is to study or work alongside Aliens.
This is an unbiased reading comprehension (as fair as I could be) outlining what we know and do not know about Area 51. Students will establish their own opinion on the topic, followed by an in-depth analysis of Area 51 (links and original copies of CIA-released documents included). From there, they'll have to re-think and, if needed, re-formulate their position.
It's the perfect resource for students that need engaging reading material. It's also my go-to for supply plans. :)
