  - - - Often it is difficult to apprehend where the break down is when it comes to understanding, so it becomes important to stop and check for understanding as often as humanly possible. There are many ways to check for understanding, and I will do what works best for my students. I also can encourage students using more tech, e.g., Plickers and Kahoot!
- - - - It allows students to read the same current events content, but it is differentiated to fit the needs of the specific student. All quiz scores, highlighted information, and written responses are saved in the teacher's online binder to review and make adjustments as needed. This allows for flexible grouping, either by topic, reading skill, or lexile level.
