Through this activity, students will demonstrate their understanding of school procedures.
Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your back-to-school lessons.
In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through small groups or whole class lessons.
If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:
🆘 Support Struggling Students
Help students who need support by allowing them to provide their answers verbally. Alternatively, students can complete these activities in a 1-on-1 setting or with a small group.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
For fast finishers, encourage students to share their rewrites with a classmate.
🛴 Scoot Activity
Place the cards around the room numerically and give each student a set of response sheets. Assign students or pairs to a starting point card. Give students time to review the card and rewrite the story. Students will rotate to the next card when you say, “SCOOT!” Continue in this manner until students return to their starting point.
