=Put a Short Activity/Lesson/Project Title Here=

2) Students were put in partners. 3) In a whole group, teacher modeled how to make a trading card on the activboard. 4) Instruction sheets were provided for partners on how to make a trading card. 5) Partners worked collaboratively making 2 trading cards. 6) Print/save trading cards and post on Edmodo. 7) Students individually answered questions on how they supported each other in creating the trading card. || Please identify opportunities for differentiation. || The students are still primarily dependent on the teacher for support instead of each other. I am encouraging peer support and teacher support as a last resort. The students were able to reflect accurately on how they worked together. Some students were better with technology and some were better on content of the trading card. Students who do not work well with others struggled with this process and so did their partner. ||
