ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

★ Differentiate Graphic Organizer

★ 3 pages

★ PDF file

★ Suitable for Grades 5-12

This resource includes:

★ 1 overview page

★ 2 separate Inference/Text-to-Text Graphic Organizers: one for higher-level students and one differentiated for ELL, Special Ed, and lower-level students

★ Article and Image Links

★ Google Slide link

*******************************

This resource is also included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets).

********************************

Students read two Common Lit articles and observe/analyze images related to the Great Depression and Migrant workers (Links to all images and articles are provided - actual articles are NOT included. only links).

Students will observe, read, analyze, and make evidence-based inferences related to the Great Depression and the lives of migrant workers. Students will then use these texts (articles and images) to make connections to the characters / events in the book Of Mice and Men. The graphic organizers require students to cite evidence from both the articles, images, and the book to support their analysis, conclusions, and observations.

✅ The two graphic organizers contain the same information, but one of them is differentiated for lower-level students.

✅ The differentiated version graphic organizer includes paraphrased, step-by-step instructions as well as examples of how to think about the information they observed in the images and read in the articles. These examples will increase their understanding of how to think about information and complete the graphic organizer appropriately.

✅ These graphic organizers are excellent for Do Now, Launch, Group work, and/or Research activities. They can also be used to set a purpose for listening/watching video clips used to supplement lessons. It's a great tool to help build students' background/prior knowledge for upcoming units/topics!

Toolkit for discussion-based teaching! This 10-page editable document includes participation evaluation worksheets, role-playing exercises, and discussion trackers that you might use to improve your Harkness discussions and socratic seminars.

Here is what you'll get in this 10-page document:

• Participation Self-Evaluation Worksheets: The first two handouts will invite students to reflect on how well they are listening, thinking, speaking, asking questions, and using evidence. These editable handouts can be used as a student self-evaluation worksheet; or they can be used by the teacher to provide feedback and grades on students' participation. (2 pages)

• Formulating Questions Handout: This handout provides students with advice about how to formulate effective questions. Whether your class is about to embark on a series of student led-discussions, or your class is about to write papers about topics of their choosing, this handout will help them to formulate genuine interpretive questions that are grounded in concrete textual evidence. (1 page)

• Discussion Role-Playing Exercise: Challenge your students to develop their discussion skills by assigning each student a particular role to play during a discussion. This handout contains a list of roles such as "questioner," "text referencer," "clarifier," "focuser," and so on. The experience of playing these roles will help your students to develop concrete skills and to expand their awareness of the range of different contributions they can make to a discussion. At the same time, it will prompt students to reflect upon the discussion skills they exercise habitually as well as the ones they experience as more challenging. (3 pages)

• Harkness Discussion Trackers: Four discussion tracking sheets will enable you to keep track of how many times each student spoke during a Harkness discussion. The trackers also feature "keys" that will enable you to keep track of the kinds of contributions made by each student: questions, textual references, building comments, etc. The keys are editable so that you decide to track the particular skills that your class may be working on at any given moment in the year. Want to track when your students work through a constructive disagreement? Just add "CD" to the tracking key! (4 pages)
