Differentiation, Challenge 6

Whenever I think of differentiation the first thing that comes to mind is: a sentence stem.

At the end of February, the 8th graders were doing something the teacher called a "one pager" in which the kids made their own one-page posters to explain something they were studying. In this case, it was natural selection. Visually speaking, these things looked a lot like science fair project posters and, because we were hybrid, were done in google slides.

In place of the usual sentence stems, the students got a slide that contained a bunch of sentence-stem-like "info bubbles" and graphics templates that they could write over and copy/paste into their One Pagers. Many of the students used them.
