Teaching Tips
For students needing additional support: Provide sentence starters (e.g., “I think…,” “One difference is…,” “We both like…”) to scaffold responses.
For advanced learners: Assign discussion questions that encourage analysis or evaluation, such as “Which invention has had the greatest impact on your life?”
For multilingual learners: Add a word bank of linking words (e.g., both, similarly, however, even though, like) to support comparison language. Pair students with supportive partners, and provide visuals when possible.
Note: Provide accommodations and modifications based on your learners’ needs to ensure full participation.
