Students will be broken into assigned small groups consisting 3-5 students each. Each
group will complete three brief activity sheets, each adapted to three tiers of difficulty. Each
group will be given the choice to pick their difficulty level, although I will encourage (assign)
more difficult tiered tasks to groups I know are capable of completing and will gain appropriate
challenge from the assignment. Everyones three-part activity will consist of check points, which
they must have me check off (to assure correctness and break solidifying misconceptions) before
moving to the next section/assignment sheet.
Small Group Activity Differentiated by Difficulty and Mastery
Consistent Successful FL Application
Students in the Consistent Successful FL Application group will be broken into one group
of four and one group of five. These groups will be encouraged to complete high-difficulty tiered
assignments. The instructions for the high-difficulty assignments are described below:
1. Foundation Check: Bellow is a list of each element of figurative language we have
learned about in class. As a group, recall and write the detailed definition for each
element in the space provided.
2. Connect Knowledge and Practice: Read the story section, then color code and identify
each element of figurative language the author uses. Find as many as you can and
explain how and why you think the author used each element the way he did in the story.
3. Application Task: Complete the cartoon using 1-2 elements of figurative language to
create sentences in each scene. Use the elements to clarify what you believe is
happening in your section of the story. Your creation should be school appropriate, use
complete sentences and correct grammar, and flow smoothly from one section to the
next.
Intermittent FL Understanding And Application Errors
Students in the Intermittent FL Understanding and Application Errors group will be
broken into two groups of four. These groups will be encouraged to complete medium-difficulty
tiered assignments. The instructions for the medium-difficulty assignments are described below:
1. Foundation Check: Below is a list of the definitions for each of the elements of
figurative language we have learned about in class. As a group, determine which
element of figurative language belongs to each give definition.
2. Connect Knowledge and Practice: Read the story section, then color code and
identify each element of figurative language the author uses. Explain why you think
the author used each element the way he did in the story.
3. Application Task: Complete the cartoon using the suggested elements of figurative
language to write or fix sentences in each scene. Use the elements to clarify and
