Re: Differentiated Unit on Books talks

Here are some thoughts:

Book Talks -

ESL / Special Ed / Below Level students create a small poster
with pictures of things that symbolize the story. They use
their poster as a visual reminder to help them talk about the
story.

On Level students create a Powerpoint presentation about
their book. They show the slideshow and talk about each
slide. This gives them visual reminders (a support) for their
talk.

Above Level / GT students are given 4 to 6 project choices.
They create a visual to represent their book (video,
scrapbook, Powerpoint, play, etc.) and share it during their
talk.

Reviews -

ESL / Special Ed / Below Level students write a "one liner"
to "sell" the book.

On Level students write a short "Amazon" type review.

Above Level / GT students write a literary essay and include
connections with theme.

I hope that gives you some ideas. Mae
