Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding  

If you have students that have finished these worksheets earlier than others, have them proofread their work and encourage them to expand 1-2 sentences to make them more interesting, or encourage them to use some new vocabulary.

For those students who may find this challenging, have them sit in a small group and brainstorm together. Write up some more vocabulary on the board for them to utilise and encourage them to think of what their personal writing goals are so they know what they need to work towards.
