Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Language Arts (Grades K-2): 0 - Softcover

Differentiating Instruction with Menus: Grades K-2: Language Arts offers teachers exciting tools to challenge and teach every child in a mixed-ability classroom. This books provide several different types of menus that students can use to select exciting products that they will develop so teachers can assess what has been learned--instead of using a traditional worksheet format. Differentiating Instruction with Menus: Grades K-2: Language Arts contains attractive reproducible menus, based on the levels of Bloom's Revised taxonomy, that students can use as a guide when making decisions about which products they will develop after they study a major concept or unit. Using creative and challenging choices found in Three-Shape Menus, Tic-Tac-Toe Menus, Meal Menus, Give Me Five Menus, 2-5-8 Menus, and List Menus, students will look forward to sharing their newfound knowledge throughout the year. Also included are specific guidelines for products with graphics to help students easily match a product with its criteria, a rubric for assessing student products, and teacher introduction pages for each menu.
