]]> 2020-01-14 17:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431429178 In the past I have differentiated the science notebooks by providing sentence starters, checklists, or outlines for students to use to begin their writing. Students can also work in partners. The website offers a variety of vocabulary cards that students can use to help them with their writing and discussion. There are different versions depending on the topic. Some versions include the vocabulary word online while others include vocabulary words with pictures to help students understand. https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431430027 2020-01-14 17:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431430027 On pages F10-F11 show a chart for Effective Strategies for Diverse Strategies https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431431094 2020-01-14 17:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431431094 Access & Equity Chapter randi_kottler https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431438365 2020-01-14 17:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431438365 St's who have difficulty with Literacy randi_kottler https://padlet.com/randi_kottler/pb22hgigif1i/wish/431438657 (In Access & Equity chapter)
