✅ PowerPoint that matches the notes

✅ Links to the text set of "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl and "High Court Review Insanity-Defense Case" by Nina Tottenberg for use with the notes and the processing task cards.

NOTE: The texts are at a slightly higher level than the grade levels for which these plans and activities are intended. This is because research has shown that texts with a little bit of a challenge is important if reading growth is expected. So while the texts may be a bit more challenging for a regular 6th grader, it is definitely within reach with some scaffolding. However, they are right on target for 7th and 8th graders. I think students will see it as a compliment when they are trusted with a more rigorous text.

✅ Processing task cards so students can practice what they've learned (differentiated processing)

✅ Quiz

✅ Answer Keys

RETEACH:

✅ Enhancement Menu for students who scored less than 80% on the quiz and need more practice. (differentiated products)

✅ A video to use for reteaching that can be placed on any school password protected learning management system like Google Classroom or Canvas.

ENRICH:

✅ Enrichment Menu for student who scored 80% or better (differentiated products)

✅ Matching materials

Using this Teach*Reteach*Enrich system is a 'Smart' way to teach because it helps to reach all learners! Now differentiation is easy!

This will help you teach your students how to trace the development of characters and make inferences to trace idea development in a text! Your students will love the variety of activities and you will love that everything is ready to go!
