Differentiation

Some students may be overwhelmed by too much information presented on one sheet. For example, the Ifthen activity may have too many options present. So, Juliette will complete this activity in two sections. She will be given one worksheet initially with only three ifthen options. When that has been completed, she will receive the second worksheet to complete the following three sentences. This should eliminate her being overwhelmed from too much text on one page.

The Ifthen worksheet as is will be beneficial for Bob and Diana. Bob has an extensive knowledge of Social Studies since it is a passion of his. Diana will benefit from the sentence structures being laid out for her.
