Purposeful and Transparent
The teacher is very explicit about strategy instruction as they work through these activities. Students may be unfamiliar with using graphic organizers as a tool.
Contextual
By using actual labels and directions, students are able to read and understand medications that they use in their everyday lives.
Building Expertise
The Venn Diagram is an excellent example of how to scaffold student learning.
