Differentiation
Communicators Higher Level Students & Extension HL-only content and skills will be attained during class time devoted to HL students. As a result HL students will have more enrichment activities and more assignments. Differentiation by learning styles I will give a variety of tasks that allow students to use their most preferred learning style. However, since the assessments for this course require students to be proficient in reading and writing in English, these skills will be emphasized Standard Level Students SL students will do the same work as HL students, as appropriate. (HL and SL students have the same objectives in this course, except that HL students have more.) ESL / Language Support Strategies All students in this class are ESL students, however their level of English is quite high and all reading materials used in the course should be accessible to them. To improve their writing, they will analyse the writing in reading materials and practice improving their own.
