Graphic organizers- Higher Order Thinking Activity
(Priority Diagram) Ask the students to use the information they have shown a good understanding of, by prioritizing (Thinking skills: Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating).

Self evaluation- Exit tickets- what have they learned?/ Traffic light smiley faces
Group B: 'I'm nearly there'
(The 12 students who have some knowledge about the topic as shown in their score, but need to develop higher order thinking skills)
Instruction
