A3 Planned grouping ensures that learning is differentiated and instruction is deliberate. Knowing student’s interests is also important when planning certain groups. Giving students choices in their learning based on interests helps with engagement. #1stTeachChat

A2 We use a strategy called Graffiti Board where students, draw, write, and have collaborative conversations about topics. It encourages them to use academic talk and questioning strategies. They really love it when they get to choose the topic. #1stteachchat
