These Cicadas Notebooking pages are perfect for many different types of writing assignments in various subjects.

Cicadas are a part of the Cicadoidea superfamily. In central North America, one species, the magicicada, are usually called “locusts” even though locusts are actually just swarming grasshoppers.

These notebooking pages are generally for students working at the 2nd to 8th grade levels.

With these Cicadas notebooking pages, your kids can write about the life cycle of these beneficial insects.

Or they can write facts they learned about the different types of cicadas and how they emerge annually or periodically.

They could also report on the different broods in North America and when and where the next one is expected to emerge.
