Split Classes

Teachers are encouraged to use the same themes for both grades if possible, alternating the set of themes each year. The final task for each theme should allow for a wide range of performances so students at all levels of ability continue to learn and be successful. For example, a theme on clothing may have partners or small groups working toward a fashion show with oral presentation. Younger students might use less language and more props, or complete a different task, such as role-playing a clothing purchase.
