Since the students will be presenting this information the following day, the teacher will
assist them to answer the guiding questions as needed on a case by case basis.
CLOSER
Groups will submit answers to the guiding questions through Schoology.
ACCOMODATIONS
The resources provided include text and video that present information at varying degrees of
complexity. Students who are ready to understand the material at a deeper level will have the
opportunity to do so and to demonstrate that understanding through their responses to guiding
questions. The teacher can assist any groups that need help in understanding the material.
ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION
Students will submit answers to guiding questions through Schoology.
