Wolves ESL Worksheet — Advanced Level F Reading PDF

When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995 after a 70-year absence, rivers changed course. That is not a metaphor — it is ecology. This advanced ESL reading worksheet explores how wolves became one of the most studied examples of ecosystem-level impact in modern science: their pack structure and fierce loyalty, their territorial roaming, their instinct-driven communication, the legendary howl that carries across 10 kilometers of open terrain, and the Yellowstone trophic cascade that reshaped an entire national park. Ten academic MOE Level 2–3 vocabulary words, five analytical comprehension prompts, and three critical-thinking discussion questions built for upper-intermediate learners who want to go deeper.
