Feature Finder at Natural History Museum Vienna

Text Features Adventure Pack

Inside the grand galleries of the Natural History Museum Vienna, exhibit guides are in chaos. Headings are missing. Captions have disappeared from display cases. Diagrams are unlabeled. Visitors are wandering through fascinating exhibits without clear directions or explanations. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the nonfiction navigation system. Without text features, important information becomes difficult to find and understand.

In Feature Finder at Natural History Museum Vienna, students climb aboard the Exhibit Explorer Cart and launch into a high-stakes reading mission. To restore clarity, explorers must identify headings, decode captions, analyze diagrams, and use tools like glossaries and indexes to locate key information. By understanding how nonfiction text is organized, students help visitors navigate the museum before confusion spreads.

This adventure blends informational text skills with exploration, organization, and real-world reading strategies.
