This website, https://www.teachingbooks.net/clp.cgi?master_id=58098&lf_id=9 , provides a story map format. UDL 2.1 and ESOL 5 focus on clarifying any new vocabulary. #UCFLAE3414SP20 5y
ShardaeP I love elephants. I support sanctuaries that rescue animals instead of capturing them for entertainment purposes.I will read this book and I like that it comes with comprehension levels for students. 5y
DrSpalding Because you chose a graphic organizer, story map as your extension activity, what English learner strategy aligns with this? This book looks fantastic! I am adding it to my stack. 5y
