Primary Worksheets: Narwhal
Primary worksheets on the topic of the narwhal designed for primary school students. A basic passage with questions at the end to answer, testing the students comprehension levels.
The Narwhal whale is a large-sized, toothed whale, that is most commonly found in the arctic North. It is often referred to as the ‘unicorn of the sea’, because of its large front tusk.
Though the horn of a Narwhal is not really a horn! It is actually an overgrown tooth. Some male Narwhals can have two tusks coming out the front of their bodies.
Narwhals are usually white with black spots, but they can sometimes have black stripes. They have a curved tail fin that allows them to swim steadily and make quick turns in the water!

Basic Tips
When teaching a new concept to a student, make it as visual as possible. Concepts become more comprehensible. A standard lesson should follow this basic structure:
- Introduction: gather what knowledge the students have on the topic. Assess and evaluate your level to base how much assistance they require throughout the lesson
- Concept: teaching the actual topic of the lesson. Highlight the difficulty the students are having and apply the appropriate action. For example, if they do not understand the meaning of a word, get them to highlight it for further studying in the future.
- Evaluation: conclude the lesson by getting the students to feedback what you have taught. Ensure they comprehend the topic and know the main points.
Build the confidence level of students through active participation. Encourage projects for them to do what they have learnt into practical use. The more engaging the lesson is, the better the result.
