High School Differentiated Assignments
Argument and Informational Skills with Differentiation Assignments: Each assignment focuses on a key skill with the argument and informational genres. Assignments feature a reading that is scaffolded with highlights and explanations depending on the level of support. The assignments can be used for individual practice or combined to create a curriculum unit.
The lessons in these collections exist at three different levels of scaffolding:
Level 1 (light scaffolds) is an on-level lesson. Before writing, students complete Graphic Organizers guiding them to analyze the reading and plan their writing.
Level 2 (moderate scaffolds) is for students who may require additional support. Students complete Graphic Organizers with Sentence Starters and other scaffolds.
Level 3 (substantial scaffolds) is for students who perform below-grade level in text analysis or writing, or may speak English as a Second Language, and require additional support. Students are supported with Sentence Starters and fill-in-the-blank scaffolds.
