My tips and strategies:

There will be challenges along the way and questions about how to log in or how to verify my work.

You can register on the online resources of the different websites and assign the activities to your students and check their work.

In addition, you can print and photocopy task 6.

  • Differentiation:

Allow fast learners or higher students to work on the challenge activities. If possible check assigned the activities according to their levels or divide by groups. For example: Group 1 will complete activity 1 and Group 2 will complete activity 2.
