Valutazioni e commenti
Would this work a year group down with more scaffolding, or is the reading level too high?
The differentiation notes are what sold me — I could stretch the fast finishers without writing anything extra.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
Great structure. One question: is the extension task assessed, or purely optional?
